Better weather?

Pete launched at 12.15 and had a struggle to stay up. He is now at 5000' but reporting rough conditions.
Since Pete is the only glider pilot flying here it makes it difficult each day to assess the conditions and decide when to launch, or even if to launch.
The local club is only active on weekends so Pete has to work out for himself what the conditions are going to be from the forecasts and then decide when to launch. I think today we were probably a little bit early, but who knows.
It is windy today for the first time, and the weather forecast warns of 'blasts' of wind up to 30kts.
The original plan for today was to head North towards and maybe into Poland, but given the blasts and blue conditions that may be modified.
