Day 1... Almost








It was a pretty dismal looking day as we got to the glider this morning. It didn't really improve as the grid formed .
One by one the classes were cancelled until everyone was back in the tie down area.


But there are always things to do. Our base radio hasn't been getting incredibly good range so we sent Mark up on the roof to fix things


After a bit of climbing,


and a bit of tight rope walking




and a bit of invention....


Voila! a new aerial.

With a bit of luck we will be able to test it from long range tomorrow.
