Consequently the RRC meeting point will be Airworks at 08:45 (for a wallk up Mt.Caburn or two and llots of spot llanding pratice) or on top of the hill for those who know the way already.

If anyone is thinking of going to Beachy, don't take your glider as the pressure is high, the sea cool and the air warm.

Bring sunscreen, plenty of water and your running back up the hill shoes. Leave at home: extra fleeces, big gloves, the spare fishing weights and any other detritus you may usually keep in your glider bag.
