Same at Balaklava Patch...we retired to odd jobs around the place until lunchtime when the main man declared it looked like the cloud had lifted and we should go flying...needless to say after towing the ASK21's down to the launch point we got drenched in the heaviest shower of the day 8-)
We then had 10 quick flights off the winch with wave up to about 3500' (the pilot's of that flight broke off and returned to give someone else a go) encountered on a couple of flights and a nice run down the side of a wall of water in 7 knots got Peter Oldfield and I a few hundred feet above cloudbase on the last flight of the day...this sport never ceases to amaze me!
