Five students were raring to go this morning but conditions did not look too promising. I went out to Big Collin to take a look anyway around lunchtime. The SE wind was a light 10-12mph occasionally 14mph on top but a succession of slow moving showers could be seen upwind. As a result three of the students elected to give it a miss but Paul Cunningham and Keith McGeown turned up in hope of getting a flight during a gap in the showers.
Keith managed two semi-soaring flights from the top - taking off in 15mph wind - slope landing on the first and a target landing by the windsock on the second. Paul had a flight from half way up, landing by the lane.Then the rains came.After Paul did a bit of flying suit modelling and with no sign of the rain stopping, we left.
