So
the Scrambles on Saturday was great fun - Becs was our team captain and
took the OC slot, Ed was the next most experienced and took Tail. Since
we had a non-FS jumper on the team, he was in Point which left me with
IC. Which worked out pretty well. I was very happy with the way I
flew, considering my lack of experience in the air. Still loads of room
for improvement but generally, I felt pretty comfortable and learned a
lot from doing aircraft exits :-)
We
launched an H every time which possibly cost us a couple of points, but
more likely, ensured we stayed together instead of funnelling the exit,
lol. Overall, we got 4th place and I'm really looking forward to the
6-way scrambles in July. And will be doing some dynamic 6-way in the
tunnel in the meantime....
Still
not planning to continue beyond the end of the season, just had another
Bank Holiday weekend and only managed to jump on Saturday afternoon.
Sunday was yet another miserable overcast day with the first lift
landing with everyone still on board due to a heavy rain shower. I left
just before lunch - they did eventually manage a couple of lifts in the
late afternoon but I'm glad I didn't bother hanging around wasting
another day. Monday was a little better but I did more clearing out at
dad's house, a tip run, went with Rich to fetch his kit car from London
and move it to Kent, then collected Mischief and we went for a pub meal
and got furball a little more comfortable with other dogs :-)
Another
4-way FS team appears to be falling apart with their trip to the first
round of UKSL cancelled along with their replacement team training. Had
a chat with a couple of them and they are going to see how their next
tunnel session goes, but may well be up for taking a scratch team to
Nethers in June so they actually do have some fun!
I'm
also signed up for an all-girlie tunnel session for some fun stuff
having pretty much given up on the idea of dragging 3 other people
kicking and screaming to the tunnel for some vaguely sensible 4-way
training :-/
Finally
got my landings sorted again and timed my last landing perfectly,
landing lightly on my feet in zero wind :-) Very happy with that, as my
accuracy is also improving.
