Tasty day in the field

Nick takes to the air on an early flight
a couple of flights later Nick looks good getting some "air"
Keir flies straight and level
Keir rounds off his day with a nice flight looking relaxed


Despite a less than perfect forecast we headed to the field to carry out some Hang Gliding taster days with Nick C (Cubert) and Keir L (Mawgan Porth). The morning went along well with the guys getting to grips with glider introduction and the ground work. As forecast it got a little damp around midday but as it turned out this gave us a plesant lunch break (something we are not used to) before it began to clear allowing us to get on with the hand tows. Pretty soon it was almost bright and in a nice breeze the guys got ready for their first flight on the tow line. Conditions continued to improve and by the end of the day they were both flying nicely across the field almost looking relaxed with it. It was good to see Dave T come along for a look and help out on the tethers so allowing Kaz to take the photos. A good day with Nick and Keir not only having fun but keeping us amused along the way.



Anyone want a shortened mini ? How short is that? ask Keir
