Thanks!

Whoever was doing some night training or some such around Thruxton last night in a 22 managed to keep Mrs LHD awake long enough for Mr LHD to persuade her of the benefits of "night training" of a different kind.

Keep it up!

But not everynight please

Ah, that sound much more interesting than the "w--- affliction" that has crept into the thread "another one down".

Keep it up indeed................!!

Don't know about being in balance but there weren't any "quick stops" that's for sure!

Low Level

Do they have a low level rating in the UK for less than 500' and do you only need 5 hours training?
And how do you get to instruct ????

Maybe friend CYHeli was talking in code on this thread.

Low level route = "Basic instincts"
5 hours training = "How much does it cost?"
How do you get to instruct = "Can I watch?"

Was it a steep approach into the clearing followed by a max performance exit after dropping off your load?
