Despite much of the country grinding to a halt with heavy snowfall, Norfolk remained mostly snow free with beautiful blue skies and crystal clear visibility allowing flying as normal at Tibenham. Winching was off 33 (our mid-length runway) achieving around 1500ft in the two-seaters. There was even a little gentle soaring around lunchtime with Art eeking out the longest flight of the day. Mark Wright ran the day with Nick Owen assisting as BI. Others out included Jenny, John K, James F, Ben K, Geoff T, etc. Paul Wilkinson and I finally managed some BI patter training in the Grob 109 for an hour and were very glad of the cabin heater! We also got a good view of the edge of the snow-line which started roughly at the Suffolk boarder, just a few miles to the south of the airfield..
