That's better

Had some more circuits today-the penny seems to have finally dropped,pulled off a series of survivable landings in spite of the crosswind .The cloud base and viz were very marginal so they wouldn't send me solo but I feel a lot better than a week ago.Probably just as well as on one circuit whilst on the early downwind,another a/c was converging at our level and the FI took control with the evasive action.Thought I had c cked up but this bloke in a higher performance a/c had turned left almost immediately after t/o straight into our path .All part of my learning curve I guess.....
Will have another attempt next saturday,later in the day so maybe lighter winds.
