Tues 8th August - Course Week

 The familiar  (for this summer) low cloud and drizzle was back again and Chris gave briefings on circuit planning and thermalling to reinforce the flying from yesterday, followed by field landings for the solo pilots.

The simulator was fired up for general handling, launching  and launch failures, circuit planning, and some ridge flying in the Swiss Alps.

Chairman Nick arrived with an all-terrain vehicle fresh from Australia, which assisted in the extraction of the cable retrieve vehicle.  - J&P
