The pattern continues- no contest at Pocklington

The forecast for the 18th and 19th of June was pretty dire- so much so that only one or two pilots from the home club and Rufforth turned up. In the event there was a late clearance on the Saturday afternoon and we could probably have squeezed a short task in- but we had already scrubbed. Sunday was totally unsoarable. Lets hope the remaining half of the season picks up.

Rufforth washed out

The dismal weather continued over the bank holiday and sadly all three days at Rufforth were scrubbed- particularly frustrating as the following week was quite good.


Easter Weekend

Well, we flew.

Friday and Saturday were hot and soupy. We did get about a one hour soarable window on Saturday, between the thermals triggering and the showers building; we also got an excellent barbecue.

Sunday saw a slight improvement, and director Chris Teagle set us some tasks. Pundit Dick Brisbourne (Rufforth) made it round the 118 Km triangle, no-one in the other classes made it past Y.

Monday was a little better, to the west of the site at least, and the tasks were a little longer; the pundits made something of their 140 Km triangle, with both Dick Cole (Sutton Bank) and Tim Milner (Pocklington) completing, albeit both had to go the long way round to stay in the soarable conditions.
