| Flight details: | Luke and I did the Newhaven to Brighton run a couple of times. Landed when the rain started. Let the gliders dry out while we had a cup of tea with Nicos and John Birchall. Then all played ground handling on the beach for a while before packing up and retiring to the pub for fish and chips. My glider then got soaked in torrential rain on the way home. |
