JUNIORS...practice week update

10 hour drive down wasnt too bad in the scorching heat, and we even had enough energy to rig the gliders and our tents that afternoon...

On Sunday we flew (Alex longer than any of us, which he is very proud about - we are letting him take this small victory, so he doesnt feel as rubbish when I thrash him in the REAL competition.)

Yesterday, Matt and Alex flew as I was a bit ill....

....and not long after they landed, that is when the storm hit. I have never seen such a black looking sky, and it was a race to put the gliders in the boxes, peg mine to the ground and run for cover. It didnt work, as we got soaked, our two expensive Argos Gazeebos went AWOL - wrapping themselves around some trees - and someones trailer swung into Matts. It just seems to be the luck of the Juniors, to attract the worst conditions in Britain!
