Forecast sounded fairly reasonable but, as is so often the case, the forecast bore little in common with reality and the morning brought calm conditions with low cloud and then some very light drizzle. Hoping it would clear as I had four students anxious to get going, I went out to Big Collin around lunchtime when conditions were drier. Low cloud was hugging the top of the hill and there was a moderate breeze from the SSW - not S as forecast!
Ken McConnell was already on site with a student who then got one top to bottom flight and came up for a second. By then the wind had gone more westerly in direction and increased to 18mph at times. Then the cloud descended, putting an end to any more thoughts of flying. Yet another parawaiting afternoon!
