Stole a gap in the showers!

Student Pete Stevenson got in some valuable ground handling in gusty conditions at Agnew's Hill west this afternoon. Wind was varying between 12 and 18mph. The small Firebird Trainer wing is a bit of a handful in such conditions but he succeeded in taming it. When a short shower came through we adjourned to the classroom (my car!) where we had a useful discussion on various aspects of paragliding theory. For most of the afternoon we watched large slow moving showers moving in the distance north and south of us, leaving 'our' hill in the clear but for the one light shower.
