Where I live I havn't seen snow for a great number of years so naturally it drops as rain. Out of the 52 flying weekends last year, 4 were lost to holidays 6 were lost to familly committments and about 30 were lost to bad weather. That 's the reason gliding is declining for new members, people loose interest through lack of flying weather. The UK has had three wery wet summers and mild wet winters, days like last Sunday when I had 3hrs 3 mins to 12000ft are very few and far between. Peter. Yes, but the point is that support for gliding is getting _worse_. The weather isn't, in fact (and I speak from about 40 years experience in the game), if anything it's getting better (remember global warming). And although I take your point about this year, 2003 was one of the good ones. (Certainly I managed 80 hours flying at a weekends only from North Yorkshire, despite 6 weeks lost to health problems). Not on the west coast it wasn't, although other thing conspired to keep our club out of the air. Peter |
