Day 17 After 4 weeks rest to get together enough brownie points to get out again I'm back. I have booked another week with Roger to hopefully complete the training if the weather allows. I arrived later afternoon on the Saturday after a quicker 6 hour drive up. (It took 11 hours last time as it was a Friday and a bank holiday weekend!) A few hours chilling out then onto the serious stuff. Do you want to give it a go asks Roger? Do pigs fly... Well only in gyro's !!! Anyway out to the runway to try and pick up from last time. Tentative runs to start with, but into the wheel balance. A little ragged at first but improving. After 4 runs however things were beginning to degrade quite rapidly. I hadn't realized that the trip up had hit me so much. After 6 runs it was not worth pursuing any further as I was not learning anything so we called it after 35 minutes. The session wasn't as good as I had hoped for and I just had not allowed for how much the traveling would take out of me. Hopefully a good rest tonight and tomorrow will be better if the weather allows. |
