Fun and Sun, to Relaxing Rain

Hey all.

Well here we sit on a rainy sunday morning. It's nice to have a bit of a slow down day. Yesterday we were flat out with what we endearingly refer to as 'punter' rides. Which are passenger rides. I did two trips in the Twin Astir. One an hour long and the second was a 30 minute trip. It was really quite and easy day for it as we had very strong westerly winds, creating amazing ridge lift. Marc flew three missions in the Duo Discus totalling 2.5 hrs. So overall it was a very good day.
(An interesting rotor cloud over the airfield. It was moving from left to right and then down and then back towards it's tail)

The next few days however are going to be quite bleary it seems that a big front will be coming through later today causing us some more rain and possibly snow down to the valley floor. We have had that once already here but it didn't last more than about 5 minutes until it turned to rain again.

We will probably be taking another day trip again this week so we will post more as we do some more exploring.

Cheers, for now
Ryan and Britt
