The week finished on a high, the weather was glorious with blue skies a stable wind. We all got plenty of launches and some where lift was found and others where we came straight back and got practice on circuit planning and approach runs.

The day finished back in the clubhouse with our tasks being signed off and we showed our appreciation for the excellent support from the ground staff and the excellent direction we had from our instructors. We had 3 instructors today which kept the flow of launches going very well.
After discussing our personal highlights through the week we left all looking forward to coming back and getting in the air as soon as possible. I had set a target for myself to achieve by the end of the week and I am pleased that I massively exceeded my expectation. My expectations for the course were high and they too were exceeded. The week has been great fun with a supportive group of people and is extremely good value for money.

Pete Bennett tried out the DG100 for size and also Pete 230 and Jeff 380 took advantage of the launch availability today
but the blue thermals to a solid 2,500' inversion restricted them to
local flying.

In the evening, groups from West Buckland Scool and Honeywell enjoyed the sunny conditions.
