A slow start with low cloud and drizzle on the top of the hill, but James and Pete shared the ground school with lectures on some basics, thermaling techniques and launch failures.
John and Mike practiced some launch failures in the Club Simulator and Mike went on to spins and spiral dives.
Just before lunchtime, the low cloud had broken sufficiently to allow full height launches outside (if the Instructors allowed them to get to full height!) , and there was soaring.
Soaring got very rough and difficult (Jill Harmer)
Late afternoon, the wind picked up significantly and the soaring became very rough and difficult to use. Thanks again to guest instructor Chris Wool for helping to get through the full list on a short day.- J&P
