Well, bit disappointing today, lesson cancelled due to xwind gusting 17knts!
Anyway, I have rebooked the lesson for tomorrow- watch this space, I can't wait! I know exactly what I am going to try this time thanks to the answers on this thread. I will also take up FFF's suggestion and put a link on the Instructors forum (thank you).
Beagle, if you read this can you drop me an email please?
