Sorry guys, forgot to post last night. I will accept a suitable reprimand at the field this morning. But please be careful the reprimand may bounce with vigour (Never call the pot black).
I will be there at my usual 8.00 - 8.30. Weather is great this morning but afternoon rain possible thunderstorm & therefore possibly no flying tomorrow because of continuing showers.

Just arrived. Has only been drizzling so ok to drive in I think.
It is a bit windy & gloomy, so I'll see how I go.

Took a trip to the field this afternoon and it is drier than expected. The usual pooled areas but enough room to take off & land. The grass needs a mow but larger wheels will assist in operation.
I intend opening the usual 8.00 - 8.30.
Weather forecast is good, so see you there.

Sorry guys, preparing our house for sale is my priority today so I won't be flying. The weather looks good for flying though, clear skies & light winds present themselves to add to enjoyment this morning. Happy flying & safe landing wishes are extended.

Dropped in at the field about 2ish & the news is not good.
I had intended mowing this afternoon (even after 10 stitches below my left knee & associated pain) but the field is soggy with surface water on 100% of the strip and unable to be mowed.. Grass is very long & unsuitable for any wheeled planes. Grounds are firm enough to drive in but bring belly landers only. I WONT BE FLYING.

Was thinking of heading down this morning if weather stays calm, as my Pterodactyl is getting cabin fever being indoors Biggrin

I would assume hand launchers are the go with Field Conditions

Looking at my rain gauge from a distance (no point in getting wet from the rain) and I see at least 20mm of rainfall with more to come. Tomorrow's forecast is for more showers so I am giving tomorrow a miss.

I will not be opening up this morning.

The field should be drying out by now as no rain in the last 3 days, however, members are asked to check the drive in first before taking cars in. Thanks guys, have a great day.
