Dragging myself out of bed this morning, getting out to Cunderdin was a 50/50 prospect at best. After a day spent celebrating my father-in-law's birthday with maybe one too many bottles of wine and certainly way too much to eat, I was certainly feeling sluggish. However, I wanted to play around with my action cam and get some footage, and probably won't have an opportunity to get out to the club again for a few weeks so I downed a coffee and packed my supplies, then psyched myself up for the drive. I'm glad I did, as I had a most enjoyable day. Read on for more...
G'day and welcome to my Soaring blog! I'm a glider pilot and instructor at the Gliding Club of WA, based in the Western Australian wheatbelt town of Cunderdin. I went solo in early 2013 and rapidly worked my way up to being let off the leash to fly cross country. This blog is primarily a personal journal of my notes and comments on the lessons I've learned and my impressions and opinions of soaring flight; although I welcome all readers and comments :)

Flyin' Solo
This morning I headed up to the club nice and early, away from home at 6am with a 2 hour drive out to Cunderdin. I was rostered on to fill in for another member as the day's logkeeper, a duty I really need to take on a bit more often as I've just filled the committee position of Club Logkeeper and will be responsible for making sure all of the club's logs are kept accurate and up to date for the GFA. I also hoped that I'd be able to secure a couple of flights to extend on my last trip where I managed to finally go solo. It turned out to be a fairly busy day, and I certainly got my opportunity.
