Flew back to Lake Keepit on Monday morning - delayed by finding a Cessna 172 in front of my aircraft in its Cowra hangar with the doors locked and the parking brake on. Not very considerate. Had to fly through a few showers on the way up, but not too bad a trip.
Arrived to find that Ray Tilley is here for the week, along with Harry and Wendy Medlicott, dave Shorter and Nick Singer. I am not sure if they will be doing much flying. Ray is finishing painting the wing of the Grob, so it will look spiffy by next weekend.
Apparently there were some good flights over the weekend, but no-one has either posted them to the OLC or written any of them up on the chat group. I heard that John Stewart got to 10,000ft and flew about 170km. Come on guys - don't hide your light under a bushel!
Today was overcast and a bit showery - but not hugely windy or anything. Would have been OK for training. Nice and warm. Expecting Dave Austin from Caboolture next week to try and get his Silver C and John Trezise coming up to do the same.

Indeed Jeeny, Saturday was quite good, managed 2hours and 70Km staying in range flying back and forth between Caroll and Gainer.
Then Sunday Gerhard climbed in the back of the Grob for a bit of XC training, we went to Mt Bora and Manila, 3 hours and 9000ft (no distance, I lost the trace). Since Gerhard fell asleep for a while, it must have been quite pleasant and not too scary for him :)
