And how! To say it’s blowing a hooley as I type this is an understatement with gusts of 50mph or more forecast for this afternoon. And we’ve had this weather non-stop (literally) for 3 or 4 days now, more or less since the previous week-end in fact. So flying was out of the question last week-end. In fact when I went down to Linton to check on MYRO on Sunday I found that one of the tie-down ropes had actually been severed through constant abrasion by one of the tie-down hooks. So to be on the safe side, I put on two new ropes, which I bought at the same time last year as the cover material but up to now hadn’t used.
The wind is forecast to drop around mid-week but is then expected to pick up again in the second half, so flying may still be out next week-end even. Not that I could have flown anyway last week-end because I still hadn’t resolved the issue that prevented me flying the week-end before. But I will have by this coming week-end, so not having flown since January 3rd I’m really keen to get back into the air. I wonder just how lucky I’ll be ? 😯

🙂 Tell me about it Tony. I was raring to go last Sunday, the best day for weeks, and then I had a problem with a door, so that was it. Knocked my January right on the head. Funny isn’t it, how it always seems to be good weather when we can’t fly. If I do manage to get up I’ll be thinking about you 😉
If it is any help, it should be perfect flying weather next weekend…. I am otherwise engaged and cannot go flying 🙂
