Wednesday 10th February 2010

Spurred on by the promise of sunshine and hints of possible wave, a small but enthusiastic group braved the cold weather.

Following a prompt start, 24 launches were achieved before the cold really kicked in and the remaining few of us decided to call it a day.

With some of the team away at North Hill undergoing instructor training and at least three others basking in sunnier climes, everyone got plenty of flying, and it was gratifying to see people honing their skills and toying with the small amount of lift that became available.

Full marks to Heather for starting to get stuck in to her flying training for real - and enjoying the experience.

However, the biggest grin of the day was displayed by Gus who made a dramatic arrival with a trailer load of materials for some building renovation.

We seem to be "light" on training pilots on recent Wednesdays so, if you are eager to learn or are an experienced pilot out of currency, come along and join us next week.
