Geoff writes: nowhere near as good a day as was forecast. We were expecting very light winds, but thermic most of the day. In the event, the high cloud came over very early, killing the thermic activity, presumably the approaching front coming in before it was expected. A small number of people got high early on, but there was nothing really to go for, and they landed relatively soon back at the Mynd. Others, including us, tried a few times, but there was nothing really working. About 3.00pm, we gave up, came home and did some work.

I had no idea that he was the same Mark Smith, sign language interpreter, who I know from the e-Newsli list and who was at our last Supporting Deaf People conference. There’s not many people who belong to both our small communities (flying and the deaf world, that is).
And I met Griff at last, after ages. Interesting what can happen when it isn’t actually flyable!
