Classes 285, 286 & 287...

Three morning classes in quick succession, which all focused on attacking from, escaping from and sweeping from half guard.

The half guard escape involved the man on the top grabbing collar and pant control at the bottom knee, then hopping to his feet and knee slicing.

The sweep involved the man on the bottom grabbing the knee control hand and sweeping the opponent onto the side he can't base. 

The takehomes from this were:
Retain a strong frame and stay on one hip if you are on the bottom defending the position. 
Break down the opponent frame and get him on his back if you are trying to break guard and pass.

Sparring was OK and I'm pretty much doing what I should be doing.
