generally very mixed weather with grey skies and low cloud and some very heavy rain.

The course activity continues,

Tuesday saw both Chris and Marek practising launch failures, while marek acted as interpreter while we tried tom teach Wytek (polish speaking ) to fly.

Richard and Tom were seen buried under the grass cutting tractor examining the faulty gearbox. Grant cut the grass to mark the area set aside for the farmers sillage.

Tuesday evening it was time for ENK to have a puncture on the main runway. The photo shows Marek attemting to re-inflate the wheel. Eventually the glider was moved to the side to let our expert Robin take a closer look.

Wednesday gave us very heavy rain and low cloud bases, meanwhile Robin repaired the inner tube and ENK was back in business.

Marek and Chris worked on their bronze theory in preparation for their written and oral tests.

Thursday had a dreadful forecast with warnings of significant storms. These did not materialise until later in the day---so we took advantage of the respite and worked on the skills test. Jules came out and flew his duvet for an hour or so, and described his flight with 2 red kites, really good fun. The glider was put away before the heavens opened at 4.30.

David Hart completed his first winch launches under the watchful eye of David .Chris Godding completed his bronze C exam, well done Chris.It was off to the Butchers arms for a well earned meal and a beer or two.
