Dave being meethead.It rained yesteray, but Ruth and I have been adopted by the lovely Scottish lads, and they took us to St Vincent. When we got there it was still raining. We entertained ourselves with an olive stone spitting contest – distance was won by George and accuracy we couldn’t score because we were all so crap. Next came car park boules. In the rain…

We all traipsed off to Decathlon next and boy, did I not realise how lads can shop! We had to drag them out to the store!

Today the weather started off bad. Rain and low cloud. Jocky and Dave called an opimistic task and we went to Sederon. It was low cloud there, but a report of sun back at Chabre. We all drove back there, and it ws looking good, but cloud was developing fast. We went to the upper take off, only to be told move back to the lower north. When we got there, there was a huge storm developing and we were told the task was going to be a practise task only – launch if you want. We could only get off one at a time and a free flyer blocked the launch for 20 minutes by not launching in perfect conditions. The huge queue behind her didn’t lynch her when the launch window was closed due to the storm getting too close, which was surprising in the circumstances.

I didn’t fly. Tomorrow there is a chance of flying in the morning, then the forecast looks poor again. We’ll see. Our team jackets are causing a big stir. Someone asked us where beyond extreme was. I’m not sure myself, but hope I don’t find out flying tomorrow!

:o)
