Well it turned out nice by mid afternoon with the sun coming out on what was a good day. We started early in the field at 07.30 getting Tell up in the air on his powered Hang Glider (Doodle Bug). He put in acouple of nice flights taking a trip out to the lighthouse at Godrevy to see the surfers as well as enjoying some low (ish) flights around the field. Next it was off to Perranporth arriving at 10.15 to fine Kaz and Paul D smiling after having some lovely early morning flying with the hill all to themselves (Kaz says sorry to Tony P).

We cracked on with Dougal M's Tandem Paragliding rating by introducing him to the ground handling, launching and landing techniques as the wind had dropped to barely soarable. With the breeze picking up Dougie came up as passenger for a couple of flights to get the jist of it, the wind increased further as did the lift and by the time we landed it was "strong enough".
With tandem flights to do on the Hang Glider that was next out and it wasn't long before Louise down on holiday was clipped in and ready to go. She had a super flight cruising the cliffs and experiencing the joys of soaring flight, the stall demonstration resulted in a kind offer.

Next it was Tam's turn who had the flight as a Birthday gift, we had a cracking flight playing with the sea thermals and talking about pretty much everything as well as putting the world to rights before coming into land, think we may see him again some time.

With the wind still a little strong for Paragliding Kaz took advantage of the Tandem Hang Glider for the last flight of the day as the sun shone and the sea thermals kicked in giving us some nice hieght which we had to burn off to land.

A nice day with a bit of everything going on maybe this is summer ??
