Russell Cheetham has gone flying


Howard Jones is surfing the web ... to see if there any more pictures of himself

Eastern Regionals are Scrubbed

... and the 15m boys keep on playing poker.

Shaun "3 hours to rig" Mclaughlin

Some gliders are on the grid ... but some think it is all over.

Shaun on the other hand was still faffing last time I looked

Rumours ...

.. I can hear Don & WeatherJack discussing an downwind dash to Ostend!

Windy ...

The Tibenham weather station is on-line click here

Rig before briefing

Briefing at 11am. Things looking a bit more hopeful today, however, strong winds could make rigging fun...

Bruce declares his intentions for the day


Weatherjack has stated that if it stays sunny but not flyable he is off to a naturist reserve....or was that nature reserve, either way lets hope they fly!
