Course week - a First Solo and a Bronze Leg.

Mick is training Jeremy Keeling and Alan Merrelles on the course this week.  I pitched up on Monday to fly LY, with George tugging.  Weather was pretty good with a few showers and at one point a line squall went through.  After about 3pm it picked up quite nicely with 2-4knt climbs to 4000ft.  Both course members got to go soaring. 

Well done to Jeremy who on Tuesday did his first solo - his first one was 27 mins climbing to about 3000ft, then came back to let Alan and Mick fly.  The second one was a Bronze leg 1hr7mins and got to 4300ft before coming back.
