Sunday 4th November 2018
I called out to Big Collin to check conditions with a view to getting a couple of my CPN students out. The wind was southerly and gusting 18 - 26mph so training was called off. Following an invitation from Al McMaster to drop by for a coffee, I did just that and spent a pleasant while with Al and his family.
On my way home I got a call from Ian Cross and, noticing that the wind had dropped a bit I swung by Big Collin again. Ian arrived just after me and we found the wind on the hill was now a manageable 16-18mph mostly. We got our gear and climbed to the top.
By the time we were ready to take off it was obvious that the wind was continuing to drop. In the end we managed a few low level soaring flights with slope landings before finally landing by the cars.
No surprise that the next day had low cloud and rain!
