We set up camp at the football pitch, free camping with fair facilities - showers, wifi, electric etc. Bargain!
We went up to take off today after the poor looking sky cleared out in the afternoon. The sky was full of gliders, some practicing for the PWC and some competing in the last task of a competition from the previous week. Nice flying.
That evening the clouds built massively and at 1:30am we were woken by a storm of MASSIVE proportions! The thunder was almost continuous sounding like an empty truck rumbleing by and the lightening was amazing! Not a good night for the campers!!
In the morning the sky had a black stripe accross it. The local tyre recycling plant had been hit by lightening (although there were rumors of arson :-o) and a plume of acrid smoke crossed the sky. As I write (Monday PM) the fire is still burning.
