Showers B* showers

They (we) started just as a shower arrived in the vicinity of the start sector and for some it kinda went downhill from there! 732 & K4 headed back to the airfield and sat on the bus 'tactically waiting' for the showers to go through and the weather to massively improve (which it didn't). Both relighted in the hope that the day had sufficiently recycled. Subsequently K4 landed out and 732 scuttled home.

Everybody else set off on task and either landed out or started their engines except for 370 who we haven't heard from yet. Here's hoping he's made it around!

Anyway, we're off to go and retrieve 'WD' out of a muddy field now!

Bad luck. Tomorrow looks good though.

Congratulations to the director and competitors for having the gritty determination necessary to start a task in those conditions. The usual Booker 'Can do' attitude.
I wish I had been able to be there!!!!
Hope tomorrow is better.

Glad you weren't there. Given the land out rate I wouldn't be enjoying a glass of wine in the bosom of my family right now. There's dedication for you isn't it boyo ...
