Winch Wench and Wonderful Weather

 The guys set up on a cracking day as the field thaws out

 Simon keeps warm as he returns from one of his flights

Phil plays with weight shift as he floates back down

What a cracking day, despite a freezing forecast it was sunny and warm in the tow field and whats more there was even some thermals about, heaven :)

Phils L (Redruth) on day four cracked into his CPC flights putting away 9 high flights  and working through speed to fly, weight shift,planned approaches and launch marshaling all whilst enjoying some cracking flying.  By the end of the day he was looking much smoother and almost like a Z3 man but we shall see!

Simon L (Plymouth) on his second day did really well despite the near nil wind conditions putting away eight flights seeing him pretty much to the end of his EPC only one or two more to go and he is off to the top.

In between the students Kaz joined Daisy on the winch to have a go with the sticks.  She did a fine job towing me aloft and got the hang of it quickly seeing me safely up and away to play with the thermals  drifting by. In fact her first go on her own was that good that Daisy declared she would have S*x tonight, we shall see...................

All in a super day and with the forecast for tomorrow  not too good it was like a rose between thorns
