This could be a (one of many) optimistic outlook for the coming weekend,still too far ahead to call any solid flying opportunities for the red ribs,as i have varying forecast from differing web sites.
As per usual i will post fri night,and keep an eye on thursday ,and looks very promising from then on..

Well the flying days have started to get us out of the house with today being fun and thermic ,with some chaps doing some small XC myself included to ditchling where i got rained on,and a good hitchhike thumbs out ride back to the dyke :). This is what you red ribs have in store ,when the time comes for you to leave the hill looking for small flying adventures.
Looking ahead for this weekend it looks pants again,but if you can get out tomorrow , go to bo peep ,you will be rewarded with some flying,it looks really nice ,but will get a little bumpy at times as the thermic air bubbles up at noon,all i can say if you wanna fly in sensible ridge hugging air get there early,if you want i can give you a brief for the day and site ,its not a red ribbon day ,i will be flying with you ,but will be watching out for you all ,as much as i can,including getting you off the ground safely if needs be.
i will be getting there around 10am ,come find me ,as some of you i have yet to meet,just ask anyone ,most will point me out.
If i dont see you on the hill then i will post again fri night ,to say how crap the weather is .....again

Sorry for the late post ,but worse then that i could not make the flying yesterday,which proved to be glorious for a certain few peeps in the club ,and from one of our sites MT caburn, and starting the race, for this years xc godliness.
As you are now really peeved with the weather,and studying the forecasts every day,obviously looking more then one day ahead,which for the most,always pans out differently,you will have noticed that this weekend has the same strong winds forecasted,if this changes i will post agian fri night for an update for the weekend.
Don't despair ,i just hope we have a few days for the red ribs to get familiar again with there new found passion,and get to fly in some gentle ridge soaring conditions ,before the spring thermic air takes hold, to which a new set of flying skills need to be learnt,and from that continue onwards to your pilots credentials,and become a skygod to chase down some new xc club records,But till dreams of stardom take hold,study what ever you can,if a little bit of usefull info pops up in your mind to help you fly better, and maybe gets you out of a sticky situation ,thats good,and dont be afraid to ask questions,dont matter how silly they seem,get them ready to ask me on the hill (one day),as i always know the right people to answer all.We look out for each other as it keeps the sport and club a great place to be. See.....just trying to big up things ..in these weather testing times.
