It was just like summer

Forecast was for rain, I don't think so


Adam W heads skywards to join Dean already up there thermalling

Dean and Adam thermal around the field

Waiting for the wind to ease back and the sky to brighten we headed to the field just after lunch arriving as one of the best looking skies this year appeared. Pete C took the first tows and played in the thermals before taking over the winch to get the students going. Ben F had a busy day with 10 tows getting in experience on his recently aquired Rio with a mixture of high flights and low powered launches to get him ready for his Booster power unit. Unfortunately on its test flight with myself on board the Boosters throttle cable parted leaving me with a tight landing , still all's well and hopefully it will be fixed for tomorrow. Dean was racking up experience for the hill having completed his CPC and had 9 tows including a couple of nice thermic flights around the field on which some he was joined by Adam W (8 tows), both did really well without instruments climbing up in the lift with the seagulls. Paul C was back with us afer a long break but got nicely back into things with 6 tows and was looking sweet by the end of the day. Nick G also had fun in the sky and made good use of the available lift although his timing for a break was poor as this proved to be the best flying period of the day! Ben L turned up in the evening and did well with his ground handling before getting on the line and rattling off 3 tows to take him nicely into his EPC, release flights next. A top day with loads of flying, fun and fermalling, maybe tomorrow will be as good...
