Hang Up's

Derek J concentrating on his approach

Who said "Inviting behind" and who's is being talked about??

Calypso flies high near the end of the day as Big ray gets in some ground handling

Rebekah S launches on one of her many

Calypso - Sky - Cloud oh and a bit of twisting

Graham A gives the Pink one a go

back to the one he loves as he prepares for the chest release

Well there must be some kind of revolution going on as we had a full day of Hang Gliding going on and took two more calls from customers wishing to try it, is it just us??

It was a bouncy day in the field with a cracking sky setting up over the field from 10.00 onwards making it an interesting day.

Derek J kicked things off on the Mars converting to a chest release with ease, carrying out his slow flight appreciation exercises, moving onto a 5th generation glider and gaining his CPC tow by the end of the day. He has had a cracking two weeks with us learning to Hang Glide, achieving far more than expected and is set up for hill soaring as soon as the weather permits. Nice one Derek and well done hope to see you again soon.

Graham A had an intersting morning trying various gliders till he found he liked and then spent the rest of the day completing his EPC and moving into his CPC with high flights on the Mars along with conversion to the chest release as well. He was well chuffed by the end of the day and it was nothing to do with the comment about his inviting behind........

Rebekah S (alias Rachel) did well in the conditions had put away a good number of tows all with nice stand up landings so is ready to move on either on the tow or hill as conditions permit.

Nigel D was back to keep his hand in having last been with us 2 months ago when we got him back in the air. Looking a bit rusty on his first couple of flights he soon settled in and was looking fine by the end of the day.

I took the Paraglider up a couple of times but it was always on the challenging side so tandems were put on hold to another day.

Pilot X even managed to sneak a flight in before the wind switched at 17.30 making it a good time to wind up another super day. day off tomorrow then back out again on Tuesday by the looks of it.
