Winter flying rocks

I have been having a few texts and emails from regular customers throughout November, I am sorry I try not to sound too cheerful but in truth we have in deed flown at least four or five days out of every six day week. Its been lovely this week alone we have had thermalling to 2,000ft plus from the South easterly, 1500ft above the westerly a day after in close harmony with the local vultures and a cracking day at Montellano. So many have asked me recently what Xmas and January are like, to my memory of the last six years December and Jan for me could not be any better, so much daylight

I have been having a few texts and emails from regular customers throughout November, I am sorry I try not to sound too cheerful but in truth we have in deed flown at least four or five days out of every six day week. Its been lovely this week alone we have had thermalling to 2,000ft plus from the South easterly, 1500ft above the westerly a day after in close harmony with the local vultures and a cracking day at Montellano. So many have asked me recently what Xmas and January are like, to my memory of the last six years December and Jan for me could not be any better, so much daylight…got be good, as a result we have already filled a new week in January for next year and bookings for pilot weeks in Feb and March are looking great. Remember we only now run groups of 8 free flyers on pilot weeks and from Feb next year we will be running Cp weeks with no more than Five pilots to two instructors.
Tuition has as ever been brilliant here, we have qualified over fifty to 60 pilots since September of either Ep or Club pilot status, congratulations to all and safe flying over winter.
