Some Sun and lots of Fun

Guy gets his feet off the ground on a Tandem launch

and gets them back on it whilst posing for the film crew


He looks pretty happy to with a huge grin

Well we did actually see the sun although can't say we saw a lot of it, still enough to get my shirt off in. Another busy day With Basil S from Exeter along for a Taster Day on the Paraglider and Mark D from Hayle for a Taster Day on the Hang glider. Both had a fine time and both did well getting in some good flights by the end of the day despite us having to move the winch several times due to wind changes, thank goodness we weren't on the hill!
Basil excelled on his first flight by jumping into the air but soon settled down to get three cracking flights in. Mark made a poor attempt to follow Basil's misdemeanor but only lifted his legs up and missed out on the jump. however he too soon got the "Hang" of it and ended on some cracking flights across the field getting me running at full chat.


Guy G came along for a Tandem flight and thouroghly enjoyed it getting a couple of flights in and experiencing both gentle flight and a less than smooth one with some tight turns leaving him with a big smile.
Tell put in some more flights on his Doodle Bug unit with some super take offs and equally good landings to move him towards his restricted licence.
Pete L got in a couple of flights on his Paramotor with good take offs so also being on the verge of his licence, nice one.
Mick L finally got to fly his new Mojo 2 and found it much more sensitive and responsive than the school wings especially when combined with his new Velvet 2 harness. he soon got it sorted and put in his "Big Ears" exercise and the first of his Asymmetrics to get on the verge of completing his CPC tasks.
Gay J had a cracking day finishing off her CPC tasks with Big Ears and Asymmetrics before putting in a few bonus flights in the evening air.
Chris S was back building up his experience flights for the hill and was looking good so maybe it will be off to the hill tomorrow, we shall see. Another long day but plenty done and lots of happy faces thanks to Bill N for pulling the lines, quote of the day "I like a girl with impressive asymmetrics".........
