    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.

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
