Been up to Seighford again today and managed three winch launches this afternoon as the weather picked up. Things seem to be progressing nicely we did some stall/recovery exercises which were fun (especially the 30 degree stall) and then when I was on approach during my second flight of the day, waiting for the instructor to say 'I have control', he instead said 'follow through on the brakes' and I ended up doing my first (rather heavy) landing!

Whilst completely unexpected it was a big thrill. I had to turn to the Pete as we got out and say 'did I just land that?'

On my last flight today the landing was much better, but Pete still did the brakes for me. I'm loving flying, should've done it years ago!
