What a Day!

Not the brisk start of yesterday but by noon there was a great deal happening. After rigging, an out and return to Newmarket was set. At least two made it and others had much waited for long flights, over four hours in some cases. Other pilots (me) although able to stay up for these long periods seem to lack the courage to push on and get more than 30k from the airfield! Something for me to work on then. On the plus side I am much more familiar with the 1000 square kilometres around our home base, handy for those trial flights.

Cloud base in the afternoon rose to 6000' and folk were still flying after I left (sick mother; no, honest) although the rain was threatening.
