Forecasts of doom and gloom put all but a few off what turned out to be a bracing day on the airfield. Gentle early morning wave over the Hambledon valley gave 1 or 2 knots of smooth lift until the thermals took over making it a bit messy low down. Excellent viz and reasonable cockpit temperatures made a pleasant respite from the biting wind on the ground. Good to see the days drawing out, the airfield drying out and members returning from hibernation or seasonal migration. Roll on Summer, but don't miss out on some Winter fun.

Welcome to February
