Our Blog is an up to date record of what we have been up to both in the school and out of it. We endeavour to update it as regularly as possible and include a sample the days pictures when available.

You can scroll back through the Blog and follow various students progress through their training and get a good idea of how the school operates.

You will also find records of our trips abroad which will give you a good idea of what to expect should you wish to come on one with us.

Run around and around

A positive forecast saw us off to the field with two taster Days Tom and Rebbecca (Gweek) and day twoer Colin N (Newlyn East) with high hopes to crack on before the wind picked up later in the day.

Things looked OK on arrival and we cracked on with the ground work Kaz taking Rebbecca and Tom whilst I spent a bit of quality time with Colin to work on forward launching. The pleasant breeze soon disappeared to a non existent one making us work pretty hard and not helped by what there was changing direction at whim!

Just as the guys were starting their hand tows it  began to get damp making life a bit more challenging again.  However with a bit of ducking and diving everyone managed to get things sorted and ready to tow as it dried up again.

With the winch set to go and Colin having made some excellent progress in his technique it was looking like it would all come good ........  then the wind picked up!  We gave it our best shot but in the end we decided not to tow as things were just a bit to variable. So having got so close Tom and Rebbecca will return another day to finish off, it will be good to see them again and give Kaz another chance to talk vegetables with them, every cloud has a silver lining :)



Forage from the field, yummy ;)

Quote of the day " No graham thats definitely not rain ......... oh"
