More Wenching and a bit of waiting.

 Simon L sets off for his first high flight

 Phil L returns from a "Big ears" flight

Another glorious sunny if chilly start to the day saw us in the tow field as the frost thawed.  With the wind in a fickle mind flicking about we gave up chasing it and sat down for a little theory whilst it made its mind up.

By lunchtime it finally settled to a light NW and the fun began. Simon l (Plymouth) got things moving finishing of his final EPC flight before heading to the top of the line to start his CPC flights.  Over 10 flights he had a fine time popping in the high flights, getting into the harness, flying at "normally used speeds" and weight shifting all whilst honing his spot landing and planned approach skills.

Alongside him Phil L (Redruth) cracked on with his CPC tasks working his way through the instability moves and performing some excellent Big Ears and impressive Asymmetrics along with speed bar and yet more planned approaches.

Winch Wench got some more practise in towing me aloft under daisy' watchful eye which also gave the guys the chance to do some launch mmarshaling.  A super day with lots done by the guys leaving Phil just one day away from his CPC and Simon well into his.

A few days like this each week would be very nice :)  Quote of the day "Perfect Big Ears Phil" no his ears are actually normal size.
