In the field at 08.00 we were ready for an early start with Mike P on the Hang Glider to make the most of conditions before he had to head off at 11.00. With a nice breeze he was quickly into it moving onto release flights and turnd down to land. By his deadling of 11.00 he had put away 15 flights and made good progress to approach the end of his EPC.

The other Mike, Michael D arrived at 10.30 but had to wait a little while the breeze dropped back as forecast to Paraglideable. he spent an hour or so practising his ground work and made great headway looking tidy in both reverse and forward techniques. With conditions still a little breezy i took the opportunity to see if there was any usable lift under an excellent looking sky but failed to make the most of it.

With conditions improving Mike got on the line and did several flights before we had to shift the winch as the sea breeze gave way to the SW wind. Things were now even better and it wasn't long before Mike was ready for the Big one and rounded off his day with two super high flights the last of which was nicely extended with some buoyant air giving him some nice lift. Big smiles rounded off his day along with his EPC and first steps into his CPC all in 3 days.

Bill N and Kaz also got some flying in with Bill being kicked in the A** by a pony (actually I think it was a thermal) and Kaz completing her Pilot rating tasks with a couple of very nice 50% Asymmetrics followed by a little thermalling to boot. Another good day, looks like we should have a day off tomorrow.
