One you have thawed out that is. A day at the gliding club is a chilling experience right now! Wrap up really, really well!
Had my first experience of gliding today. An hour and a half standing on a cold, windy runway with a bunch of other people dressed up in a hundred layers of antartic clothing watching the cloudbase get lower and lower until flakes of snow started to come down and it was cancelled!

The instructor was good and friendly, the clubhouse was warm afterwards. I have rebooked, potentially for a similar experience next week.

Despite not getting airborne it was curiously enjoyable!
