The day started off sunny, but soon clouded over. However the clouds passed, and then the cumulus started - and then overclouded again.
We had two trial instructional flights booked and Geoff Neely came out and flew the tug. On thee first flight I was only able to find some areas of reduced sink, but when I flew the second there was a little more sun and we were able to get to cloudbase at 4,500 ft ASL and fly along a street towards Gunnedah. There was a brisk westerly wind.
After tug flying, winch driving and instructing during the week, it was nice to get in a glider and actually have my hands and feet at the controls for a bit!
This week has been surprisingly busy, due to school holidays I think. The weather has definitely taken a turn for the better. Lets hope it continues.
