After a break of two years, planning is complete for our first post-Covid Spring Expedition and this year we are look forward to flying again at Lleweni Parc where our hosts will be Denbigh Gliding.

SSW wind, strong at times with gusts to 35kts Maximum temperature 7C but in the wind it will feel more like 2-3C

Breezy and cold to start but turning cloudier, milder, and windier as an area of persistent rain arrives from the north and west during the afternoon.

With the X-Section giving early warning of high winds in the late afternoon courtesy of Storm Corrie, it was a busy day as we squeezed all our pre-solo pilots into a shortened flying window.

A cold and dry start to the day with cloud increasing from the west and outbreaks of light rain and drizzle developing in the late afternoon. Becoming windy during the latter part of the day.

Huge congratulations to Liam Riley on being sent solo today.

A cloudy day with a slight chance of drizzle where the cloud is thicker. Light S winds all day.

A very busy day with four new folk joining us and a number of pilots either at an early solo stage or in training, all of whom needed to get in some flying.

Bright or sunny spells at first then cloud moving from the West during the morning. Sunnier skies arriving later in the day

Today we achieved not one but two solos so well done to Andy Hagan and to Michael Harrison.

Dry start with some sunny spells and showers passes through during the afternoon which might be heavy at times. Winds easing and feeling less cold.

It was a delight, for our first flying days of 2022, to be back on old turf at RAF Cosford for our RAF Cosford Gliding Week

Congratulations to Colin Haynes on successful completion of his Assistant Instructor training.

The first week in January sees a welcome return by the RAF Shawbury Gliding Club (RSGC) to its old home at RAF Cosford

A cloudy and damp day with the rain heaviest and most persistent in the north. Mild with maximum temp c15 C..

Cloudy with further rain and occasional showers. Strong winds.
