Another great day for the second day of the EUGC mini-course. The day started very cold, and ragged cloud at about 1200' was visible before 10:00. Any lift was unusable, the clouds grew quickly and looked quite black and menacing, but it all broke up and cloud base rose very quickly to 4500' QFE with 6-8 knot thermals all afternoon. All the students had their fill, Rowan had 90 minutes in a K21 then climbed into a Junior and soared that as well, Ed converted to the Junior and soared that, Joao completed his Bronze checks (only the exams now) after 90 minutes in a Junior. Mark and Andrew progressed well through their training. Many thanks go to Les, Dick, Dave, Francis and Wendy for helping on the ground and with the winch, to Pete and Robin for instructing and H for preparing the lunches.
Dave was out in AM again and completed as many lengths of the Lyme Bay to Chivenor cloud street that he could in 4 hours at 75 knots. The Cirrus appreciation society spent the day in the workshop doing the annual on Joe D's recently aquired model.
Lisa took over the field at about five o'clock for an aerotow trial lesson evening, the course retired to the Keeper's.
