It all started at 08.00 with Rick W and Ray D taking their EPC exams, both passed well done lads. Then it was off to the field where we got Guy D going on his Taster Day whilst the rest did some ground handling. The lines were soon running with the first two flights indicating some nice lift around. After a couple of winch moves due the wind changing things settled down and the tows came thick and fast. Guy did well on his Taster Day ending with four flights across the field and a Tandem which was enough to convince him to come back for more so watch this space. Ray D had a good day moving within a couple of flights of his EPC finishing with some nice release flights with good turns. Mick L also cracked on into his EPC tasks getting to the same position. Rick W had another heavy day moving through his CPC flights and starting the final phase by carrying out "Big Ears" leaving only the Asymmetrics to go. Chris S was back with his new Mojo and had some good flights to finish off his CPC tasks as did Paul C. Throw in some free flyers and Tandems and it was a busy day with 82 tows on the log, another late night with a stunning sun set at 21.30, even more zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
