Friday 3rd August - Course week

After the early orographic cloud lifted we were hopeful for a shower free final day - and for the most part it was. Almost immediately it was soarable to the 1500 cloudbase and later to 2000ft and occasionally the south westerly wind picked up to its normal boisterous self.

After  one final check flight our new member Gordon ( lapsed 200 hour cross-country pilot), had several flights in the Junior - feeling at home again after 9 years missing gliding.

Ian H has progressed well towards completing his Bronze - he particularly enjoyed landing in new parts of the airfield.
Graham and Paul continued their pre-solo training - and new to gliding James and George were learning very quickly.
After a lunchtime tutorial, we now have some more expert rope splicers.
A brilliant course week making the most of every possible flying time, Thanks to Instructors Pete H and Wooly, and helpers Dave C, Liam and Jill.

In the evening a group of colleagues from Honeywell flew and barbequed.
