Jim gets set to go at the start of a "busy" day :)
Jim was back after a taster day a couple of months ago and despite a fair drive down from Dorset was up for a full day. The morning was a little breezy and thermically lively so we caught up with some admin and did some ground handling on the hangy to get his hand back in.
Up and away on one of his 17 flights
Kaz keeps up the good work driving the winch and pulling the lines
Early afternoon saw the wind flick to the NE as the sea breeze set in and turn into classic conditions so we were off and away with the winch. Taking it nice and easy as Jim was the only one out we paced ourselves through the afternoon. Jim moved through his EPC tasks one after the other from non release flights, through releases and gentle turns and into higher flights and steeper turns all in fine fashion.
Jim gets higher and builds on the release flights as well as getting a super view
and the added bonus of some fine looking sheep
By the end of the day he was only a coupe of flights away from going to the top having done at least two days worth of work in one.
the end of a very productive day zzzzzzzzzz
Kaz did a great job on the winch her first full one towing student hangies on her own with no worries as well as keeping us supplied with tea :) looks like it will be pretty much the same tomorrow so hopefully Jim will get to the top then.
Quote of the day "how high?????"
