Subject: | DOTH: Le Touquet Trip - 26 May 2016 |
Following the cancellation of last Saturday=99s fly-out to Le
Touquet because of poor weather, Adrian Stephens and I did not wish to
let our enthusiasm for the trip fade away, and are planning to take
advantage of tomorrow=99s much better weather. We shall be
setting off tomorrow in Adrian=99s Europa G-EUAB from Cambridge,
aiming to arrive at Le Touquet around 1200 local (1000 UTC).
It is some time since anyone called for a fly-out at a drop of the hat
(DOTH), so we thought this would be a good opportunity to encourage
other Europas to head for LFAT tomorrow, 26th May. I cannot recall a
previous DOTH nomination for a foreign field, so perhaps we may
establish a first =93 apologies for the short notice!
I am copying this to all who had expressed a wish to come last Saturday,
in the hope that they in particular can revive their plans =93 but
all are welcome.
Best regards,
Mike

Dear All, I am sorry to say that as of 1300BST today, (Friday)
tomorrow's forecast has not changed significantly from last night,
except wind now 12 gusting 20kts, more or less cross; fair bit of rain
around and RASP showing if anything lower cloud base with mostly
500-1000 ft over S coast and our half of the Channel. Gramet is a bit
more optimistic, but I have found their cloudbase predictipns to be
appreciably less reliaable than RASP. I an sad to say that it is clearly
inappropriate to proceed with the trip this W/E, so it is now formally
CANCELLED. I will look out for a possible date to try again later in the
year.
Regards, David
