It was hoped that the weather would play ball on Thursday, but it didn't, so the Club Simulator was in use all day using the full range of training exercises.
First up was David Morgan trying out some familiarisation at North Hill and some winch launch failures. Next was Rushi - completely new to gliding, he started with the normal handling exercises for effects of controls.

Nicholas who had previous experience with power flying and flexwing tried some launch failures then moved on to spinning and aerotows.
Glyn who had soloed at North Hill 6 years ago, enjoyed an excursion to Interlaken for some ridge running in the Alps.
Whilst course members went for lunch, Instructor Steve took an out and return trip to Sidmouth.
After lunch, Nicholas completed his first cross-country task turning Cullompton and Tiverton East.
The Club Simulator proved a great asset giving the course members their first flying of the week after being all 'ground schooled out'. - J&P
