Cracking On in the field

Sunny September continues and it was off to the tow field for some training with Lawrence C on a taster day, Geoff P starting his CPC and Fran k H also moving into his CPC.


Lawrence C gets on with some PLF's

Whilst Lawrence got on with the basics Geoff and Frank got some ground handling in  and both looked pretty good at it to boot.  The wind played around a little but by lunch time with Lawrence sorted and the other guys nicely warmed up it began to settle a bit.  Well thats what we thought, a couple of winch moves and finally a nice NE breeze set in making it ideal.

Geoff was first away looking good after a few months off and back in the grooves he went to the top of the line.  Lawrence was next on his first low level tow and did a fine job to start with before loosing it a little and veering off to the left before return ing to the right a little too far and having to be backed off.  A slightly awkward landing resulted in a sore shoulder and end of play for the day, hopefully next time out life will be easier.

looking good on finals

Frank joined in the fun and it was not long before the guys were ticking off the tasks working through  weight shift, normal used flying speeds, speed bar and active flying all whilst practicing spot landings on the way.  With 9 tows each under their belts it was a good days work seeing them only needing Big Ears and Assymetrics left on the flying tasks before heading to the hill.
