Winter

Well winter has definitely arrived with a serious lack of flying and a marked increase in beer consumption and nights out, not all bad of course apart from the increasing waist line ;-)

Still, I am looking forward to exploring Dartmoor wave and North coast sea thermals over the winter if the weather allows!

Today initially looked promising from the forecasts and even better in Plymouth this morning with bright sunshine and little wind. Unfortunately on the way to the Moors a few showers were apparent on the horizon and as the wind increased so did the rain. Ivor, me and Malc called it a day!

Downpour on the way to Cox Tor

Probably should have gone to Polhaun at Whitsand Bay to fly, but with stories from Dartmoor gliding club of strong thermals last Wednesday what's not to like on the Moors even in the winter.
