Friday 5th August - Course Week

The final day of the August Course week, and we were expecting the best weather of the week according to the forecast, but there was a white tablecloth hanging over North Hill in the morning, and it seemed quite reluctant to shift, until the wind picked up a bit. During the morning, the cloudbase was frustratingly low at ~1100ft. Around lunchtime there was even a drop of rain, but the sky improved eventually and visibility became sparkling.

Pete Startup flew 230, Jess Summers got the K6 out and Justin Wills and Nick Jones flew the Eagle.  Mark Courtney, Simon Leeson and JB spent the day doing Instructor coaching for some wannabe Instructors from Dartmoor and Culdrose.
