An early start for Chris and Karon Matten who volunteered to ferry me back up to the motor glider, which was stranded by the weather at the Memdip Gliding Club Halesland, for an 8am take off. Chris and I had a fun flight back to DGS, trying to navigate the old fashioned way and dodge the clouds.
Meanwhile Martin Smith and Martin Cropper had the field ready for a quick start, Martin stayed on for an hour or so to get us going.
A good training day, but the thermals proved to be fairly useless. There were plenty of pupils to take advantage of the conditions including a new junior (Jacob) who is joining us. A fairly busy day with Alan,Barry and Roger doing great work on the winch finished with a couple of tinnies by the clubhouse.
