12 April,First flyable day of the week, course doesnt have the foggiest
Fog and low cloud greeted the course on Tuesday morning. it was so thick the K21 got lost being towed to the northern launch point!
Barrie Taylor had his first flight for 10 years, he thoroughly enjoyed negotiating the low cloud in circuit.
The fog steadily lifted, and then we had much better visibility and training could start in earnest.
Mike Oliver rigged his ASW20 and took advantage of the afternoon of thermals, reporting climbs to 3000ft (above cloud).
Jules the paramotor pilot spent most of the day with us. Jules was enthusiastically helping out and becoming familiar with gliding operations. later in the week he will fly the paramotor (flying duvet) so we can understand how that operation works.
Alan Thomas has now completed his bronze exam and theory oral test. His week is now targetted and getting up to the skills test standard in preparation for his flying test. good luck and well done so far.
