Geoff writes: the last day of August, and we woke up to wind and rain, and the day was quickly canned. So a bit of a flop for the BPC, not one flyable day in this round. Not that good for the hang gliders either, in the Open – Saturday they had a task, from the Mynd to Uttoxeter, which Gary Wirdnam won, the only one to make goal. But today was canned for them too; their last day tomorrow, but the forecast not too good at the moment.

So the Blorenge Bash was a lot of fun, we met lots of people, some for the first time face to face. And nice to see Nicky Moss, over from Spain for a few days (and desperate to get back to the sun!). We listened to some good talks, did some nice tourist stuff, and drank a bit too much. We also planned some things, e.g. some different types of podcasts with Tom; and, inevitably, did some LMSC-related work. So the few days were both fun and productive. But it was a real shame it wasn’t flyable! Actually flying is infinitely better than talking about flying.

Anyway, all credit to the SE Wales club, a huge amount of effort goes into organising such events, and it seemed to go really well, and people we spoke to really enjoyed it in spite of the weather.
