I agree with you Bob.

We decided to give Friday a miss due to bad weather considering that poor vizability and late arrivals due to the weather increased the risk beyond my pay grade.

We went on Saturday and arrived about midday to a very quiet circuit. No problems. We however chuckled when we heard the call from the pilot who had left the procedures in his car and had not yet read them. Obviously he was going to read them on finals and hoped that others would avoid him.

As for the 'chap' who suggests that those who publish the benefit of their years of experience are 'SW, scared witless' is not only incredibly rude, but perhaps does not quite understand the phrase 'No old, bold pilots'. Moreover, to be careful is not be be pathetically wimpish, it is just wishing to minimise risk, yet still having a good time. All flying is risky; one just needs to leant from history to live to fly another day.
