A "Hang" of a day

What a super day in the field it was with a good mixture of flying going on, in fact it was a very rare day in that the only students were on Hang Gliders as all the Paragliders were qualified pilots. Gerry W (Hereford) did well on the Condor moving into untethered flight putting in seven tows and looking smoother after each one to get him well into his EPC tasks. Tony T (Sussex) cracked on with his CPC tasks getting through base bar and prone conversions in fine style whilst sweetening up his general flying at the same time. Tell O (Warminster) was back on his Doodlebug power unit and had a "cracking" day in more ways than one putting in three flights and logging nearly two hours airtime. Phill S was back after a year long break getting to know his Rio Hang Glider and did a fine job, nice to see him and share in his humour again.

Phil ? (Derbyshire) visited us and had a top day on his Wasp power unit exploring west Cornwall and enjoying the views. Mick l was racking up tows in readiness for his hill conversion (maybe this week) and had a fun time practising Big Ears and speed bar amongst other things. Glyn P (Wollacombe) dropped by and kept his hand in by putting in several tows in buoyant conditions. Pete C (Winchman) enjoyed his day off playing with elusive thermals, really must give him some tips some time. Kaz P put in a few flights to keep her hand in and Sarah P, Lee P and Lauren ? all enjoyed Tandem flights in super conditions. This truly is summer!!!!! Sorry no piccies cameras broken.....
