Lizzie Westcott and Jess Summers attended the Third round of the Winter series at Nympsfield which is an event for Junior pilots across the country, - Jess recounts their story:
" it was an amazing weekend in which we not only got to meet other pilots from different clubs but we got to gain experience flying from a different airfield with new people and got some insight as to how different clubs operate. I had three flights including one aerobatic flight on Sunday evening and gained experience in flying along their ridge on Saturday. Lizzie had two which included her first cross-country flight which was 88Km on Saturday and another local soaring flight on Sunday.

This was our first time flying from a different club and so learnt a lot about launching, circuit planning and landing in a new location.
