As the wind was strong and gusty, not really suitable for Nigel to fly solo again, we took the Grob out for him to get some experience in a fibreglass glider. The lift was very good - cloudbase around 7000ft. Dave Turner flew his hornet also, and Matthew Minter took the LS6 for a whirl early in the morning.
Thunderstorms started to build all around us, and we landed before they closed right in. Just after we got everything put away, a really wild storm hit. Visibility was about 10 ft, and the wind and rain were really wild. Branches are down all over the place, and of course water came pouring in through the roof - as it does! Luckily the branches seem to have missed vehicles caravans buildings etc, so there was no damage.
Robin Nigel and Patricia worked on clearing away as much of the small stuff as they could.
I any members own a chain saw, it would be appreciated if they could bring it here and cut up the branches so we can clear them out of the way.
