Lovely sunny day with some thermal activity. My two EP students, Pete Stevenson and Gintaras Jakutis had a ball for a while. Pete had eight flights from the top, with standup landings by the windsock on most of them. Variable wind put him off course on a couple of flights. Gintaras (known as GT) still has some trouble with reverse launches and involuntary braking for takeoff but improved with practice and got two top to bottom flights - one with a 'bum' landing but no harm done.
Activity was abandoned around 2:30pm when the northerly wind began gusting 9 - 21mph. Dermot Lagan had arrived for a look but wisely decided to keep his wing in its bag.
