Evening!
Thank goodness 9 members made it out to the field on Monday! It was a such a fantastic morning of flying....sunny, 23C! I was out there in a T-shirt and shorts! Unfortunately, early in the afternoon, the sod cutting gang showed up and removed approximately half of the sod on the western side of the field. So the season is over. Today, Terry Dawson and I removed the flight box for winter storage.

Now we wait until May/21 to see where we will be flying next year! Stay safe!

Cheers!
Lyle

This is my Sunday morning update! I visited the field on Saturday afternoon and the entranceway has dried up sufficiently imo, to drive on. Winds are predicted to be from the SSW 13-24 kms/hr. Temperature 16-18C! I plan on arriving around 10 am. As you enter, keep to your right and park close to the fence along the west side of the field.

Hope to see y'all there!

Cheers!
Lyle

Morning!
With this continued run of unusually good weather, conditions look favourable for some thermal seeking on Monday. Winds are predicted to be from SSW 12-23 kms/hr. We have to confirm that the entrance to our flying field has sufficiently dried up first and I will do that later on today. With all the warm strong winds lately, I think we should be okay. I will post an update tomorrow.

This will most likely be our last hurrah at the field for this extended season.....but who knows? Nothing is "normal" this year!

Cheers!
Lyle
