We have been finding the cold this week, I bought a Thinsolate hat and gloves from the 99p stores in Stroud and thin leather gloves(£6) from the Factory shop in Cainscross, the leather was soft enough for me to feel the sticks Phil Monday

A cold day At Selsley
Still thawing out after a good four hour session, flying. I didn't
see Phil's new glove equipment but at 6 quid, that's less than a pound per
finger! I don't think my hands can take much more of today's type of bitter
weather, yet wearing gloves will result in a bad arrival. So my missions next
week must include finding a thin windproof set of gloves, to replace my woolly
items. Sunday A nice breeze at Frocester but very cold
Selsley in the afternoon
What a great session, really smooth lift and plenty of it all afternoon.
Finally I've had a good fly. Been getting majorly PSSed off with the
lack of time on the slopes, but today was great. Both the DG and the
middle phase flew perfectly and only one duff landing - no damage!
Can't wait to watch back Andy's launches!
Hope the repair goes ok for you Guy, I think you can be very grateful that your mishap didn't turn out much worse, could very easily have been lost or smashed all together. All in all a great day. T'was a touch chilly though! Sunday's flying video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rKz-vyVFT4&feature=player_embedded
