[/QUOTE]<FI hat on>But the fact you didn't know that this sort of information is contained in the Pilot Order Book suggests to me that you might still be at the stage where you should respect the opinion of those with more experience than yourself.<FI hat off>

Not sure if you're referring to my (the original) post or later posts, but if its mine I can assure you I have double-checked the entire club FOB again today (its online) and there is no mention of hire conditions. I think I also made it clear I phoned the club to get their view on the weather - thats how I found out all hiring was off! (i.e by chance).
The club in question was still conducting training flights on that day - so I have tried to establish what they perceive to be dangerous conditions for solo hire - this would be useful info to possibly amend my own criteria. I didn't get a conversation with an experienced flyer who had been flown on the day in question anyway - unfortunately. I got "so and so says its a bit too bumpy". That coupled with not being told solo hire was subject to conditions in the first place prompted me to field opinion about the subject here. CabAir, for example, do not operate any solo hire Wx conditions (I called them and asked) - its the pilot's call - they will provide sensible advice though (which as you indicate would be very foolish to ignore).
