Sunday 23rd December 2012

Although not 'properly' raining, the field was still awash from the previous days' heavy falls so it was another day for classroom activities. The two 'club one day course' candidates, Sam Deeks and Robin Wilson were the only students to venture out.

Martin Cropper gave Sam some simulator instruction whilst I covered MacCready and speed to fly principles with Robin. We also touched on task-setting techniques.

Robin raised a question about thermalling techniques which was the cue to start a rather inappropriate (for this time of year) briefing on thermals and thermalling.

And before Sam could escape he had a briefing on circuit planning.

Would be so nice to put some of this into practice soon!
