Cold night but blue sunny day with light wind. Set up the winch, and did seven launches, three each for Scott and Mark, and one with Zupy. Had one rope break after which we cut out a large section of rope containing a lot of splices. Some light thermal activity in the middle of the day. Mike Rose self launched in his Pik 20 E and had a reasonable flight.
After lunch we got the tug out and I did more training flights with Mark and Scott. Gabriel flew the LS7 and Mike Rose briefed Zupy, who then flew the Pik.
With the bad weather we had during the week, I couldn't quite get the boys to solo stage, although Scott came close - he had the advantage over his brother because if there were any thermals to be had, Scott got them every time, and Mark missed out!
Both the boys finished up by doing a good circuit and landing, so they ended on a positive not. Almost in darkness, Zupy had a second flight in the Pik - aerotowing.
