Thursday and Friday looking GOOD

Today turned out to be a cracker despite of the poor showery forecast. I saw 4500ft over Kettering (in the motorglider on a nav ex).

Congratulations to James Best for completing his Bronze today.

Tomorrow looks lke it could be slightly better than today, with a slighly drier airmass, and less wind. Ignore RASP, it's currently broken. Tonight will be frosty, and we should be waking up to a nice sunny morning tomorrow. Be here rigged and ready for thermals to start about 10.30, going on until 16:00 ish. We should see consistant 3kt climbs to 4000ft or more. Tomorrow will be a 300k + day. (Thanks to Dan for providing this info).

Friday is also shaping up well, with a slight ridge of high pressure, but an occluded front is fast approaching from the west which may shut it down with high cloud cover by early afternoon (here at Bicester).
