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.

Please visit it on a regular basis and feel free to add comments.

Top of the morning

 Nigel gets an itch on the way to the top

 Jason in action and looking good

 Paul L ready to go

 Nigel G sets off nice and level

Wings level landing in the right field from Nigel W

The guys were keen and the forecast not so good but with light winds forecast to pick up at lunch time we went for it hoping to get a few hours in before the winds came.

8.30 saw us setting up and we were towing by just after 09.00. Whilst Nigel W (St Just) and Paul L (Plymouth) shared the Mars Jason M and Nigel G (Exmoor) used the Condor. With a bit of organisation everybody cracked on and the tows flowed nicely.

By the end of Play Nigel W had popped in 7 high flights, converted to the base bar and done his first XC, Paul L had fallen in love with the Mars and worked out how to turn it.  Jason had pretty much sorted out where he was struggling by a process of elimination and Nigel G had enjoyed himself and lost his fear of heights. 12.15 saw the gusts come in so we knocked it on the head with 30 tows on the log so not a bad day as it turned out.
