Monday 8th 18:00

Our snifter spent an hour telling us how rough and windy it was. As he landed and the day was scrubbed a huge convergence set up north of the airfield, this eventually dumped rain on us so the task was never on. Forecast for tomorrow shows a ridge of high pressure so we hope for a large task and a 1000pt day.....watch this space. Soaring Spot has been very unreliable...if it becomes impossible to post results here tomorrow we will post them on the comp primary website  http://ukccnats.os-bo.co....
