Fun in the sun

With six Taster Days on board along with a tandem, experience flights and some paramotoring it was always going to be a busy day. Steve S, Shaun P, Lawrence B, Paul W, Alan C and Stewart C were all along for a boys day out trying Paragliding. They had a great day getting a good taste of the sport from beginning right through to their first flights. With much mickey taking between them it was also a fun time for us to see them progress and have fun. By the end of the day they were all flying nicely across the field and getting up to 60' off the ground on their final flights before carrying out some top landings and one or two not quite so good ones!

Gay J got her first taste of the winch on a Paraglider and had an excellent day moving well into her EPC tasks with a total of 10 flights.

Pete L had a super flight on his Paramotor cruising the North Coast at heights up to 2000' and taking some lovely photo's (hopefully he will send us some) before returning to the field in fine style.

Paul H went buzzing around on his Doodle Bug (powered Hang Glider) playing with the convergence cloud on his first flight and taking a more sedate route on his second.

Lee H & Dean F put in plenty of experience tows in the evening in readiness for the hill conversions when the weather plays ball alongside Kaz P and Bill W (thanks for the bike riding Bill) who were just out playing.

Jenny W came along and had a couple of Tandem flights on the Paraglider thoroughly enjoying them. Having been up in a balloon a couple of of days before she's having a top time proving that life doesn't stop at 63!

Tim did an excellent job on the winch putting away 60 tows and another lat (ish) day
