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...

Monday 25th June

Briefing delayed to 11:00

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!

Good news is that it is sunny...


Bad news is that most of the airfield is underwater, after biblical style rains last night
Briefing is at 11am...will Jack have any good news???
