As rough as old boots....

... and then it rained. In the meantime the few brave souls who flew this Saturday (Steve W, Glen, Simeon, William P, Nick, Greg, Ashwin, Mark and George in the 21's, Gerry, Roy, Doug, Jim P and yours truly in the tugs) "enjoyed" a variable cloudbase, very rough conditions below 500', 10kt climbs to 3000' and a cool SSW 26kt gusting 38kt breeze. Base leg, final turn and approach were particularly interesting. Roll on summer.

Similar conditions at Dunstable. Quite nice early on and then, just as we were about to start launching the aerobatic comp, the rain arrived. Then spent several hours watching the cloudbase lowering and the windspeed increasing.
