Saturday was showery after about 2" or rain overnight.
As far as I know no-one even considered flying.
Sunday started with a clear blue morning with hints of cloud development and a moderate NW wind much stronger at altitude.
Access to the club was rather restricted as the Peel River had risen to just over the bridge adjacent to the Alternate Activities Centre. Cars couldn't cross safely, but my truck provided a "ferry" service for LP and Juho.
Jay, Mary & Nick arrived by air and things got underway by 11:00.
The Grob 103 was used for 3 check flights, and Mary took the Junior for a couple of flights. There was lift around, particularly over the dam wall. Jay and LP got going towards Kelvin where LP managed to get into wave and took a ride up to almost 7,000 ! After a check flight I took the Libelle for a short tour of the dam wall, probably a bit late as it was getting very patchy.
A short but rewarding day.............

Amazing that flying was even possible. It was horrible weather in Cowra - raging wind and heavy showers. Same again today - Monday!
