Class C - Day 3

Another good day. Got some good hill starts today (up & down) in and around the Yorkshire twisties ! Coping better with roundabouts today, much less hesitancy ! Really feeling at home with the gearbox now. Changing gear, selecting appropriate gear depending on situation without actually thinking about it. Getting the speed sorted out early on the approach to hazards so that there's always an opportunity for a rolling start if possible.
Getting plenty mirror checks in; just hoping that I'll do it enough on the day. Also got some reversing practice today. Nice and steady, easy does it. No problems ! It was a long time ago but my PCV reverse was exactly the same.
The reality of test day is now starting to become very real ! We have one more full trg day with another reverse and a controlled stop and then it will be test day (Fri) ! Eeekkk !
I believe one of us is on test at 10am on Fri and the other at 1230pm. At this stage neither of us has dared ask who is up first ! Perhaps we'll not bother and just find out on Fri.
