Despite a complete blanket of low level cloud, we headed to the Beechmont launch and had a social morning. When it started raining there was a rush on Alistair's coffee van as nobody was worrying about needing an in-flight pee. The day was cancelled at 11.30, more free goodies from Mr Coffee were consumed and then the day was un-cancelled about 10 minutes later.
We moved to the Hinchcliffe launch where conditions were light/soarable/not raining and a 38Km task was called. People dribbled away from launch in small groups with most not getting more than a couple hundred metre's above launch. Nobody got to goal but Craig Collings got within a few kilometres and locals Jason Turner and Dave Gibbs were just behind. The day was good in that it really showed what you can do on a day that almost everybody had written off at 9am.
Also Hamish got to test his head gear, the picture above says it works ok!

Hey Ben, I am glad you guys got finally some flying. Say Hamish hello and I am very impressed with his brain sucking helmet device. Take care.
