weather
been unable to fly in 5 weeks due to constant bad weather up here in scotland for the duration of this period!
any one else in the same boat?
maybe santa will bring us some calm days where METARs arent reporting winds gusting at 37kts!

Ditto here on the wind - it's been beautifull sunny days for the last week up here, but with a gale blowing at 90 degress to the runway! Typical. Oh well, better to be down here wishing I was up there....

Here in wet and windy Norway, we are celebrating our 70th day in a row with rain.....last fully dry day was 4th October apparently....anyone beat that?
That in it`s self is impressive, but it also seems to be combined with a howling 35kts wind.......no flying for 4 weeks for me thus far!

All,
Same here in North Yorkshire (ok, but not Norway). Grass runways are waterloged so no lessons for five weeks as well. At least I'm getting time to read the books

Down in Leicester we have three hard runways, which solves the x wind problem and the wet grass issue. I have been flying almost every weekend for many weeks and life is good.
Unfortunately, the permit and upgrade work I have planned has been put back and put back as I am flying too much!
