Newcastle Hang Gliding Club

Hi All,

I've been chatting with Rick and Allan. We checked the bureau, we checked Seabreeze, we with the locals, we checked with blipmap, we checked with XCskies, we checked the lint in our navels. The view isn't much good.

Allan will provide his usual excellent forecast, in the meantime, as we see it, along with the already wet ground, tomorrow will have a lot of cloud cover, probably no rain (more likely localised showers), and westerly wind, strong above. As Allan put it, too much weather!

With the rain this week, its too wet to go to Glennies and would be downright rude to try, and too windy to leave the hill if we did get up.

It won't be flyable long enough to get all the pilots off the hill and a task in from Nellie's, working on a basis of a 2-hour task from a small set-up area and a dozen pilots or more launching. Darn.

Hunter is out as we want all pilots to be able to launch and we'd be stuck on the ridge anyway.

And Sunday will be worse.

So the round is no go for this month.

But I was chased by a maggie at Merewether on Monday, and Al Daniel said the eagles were harassing him at Denman and that means early Spring! Come on August!

Cheers (albeit sad cheers)
