Birthday Boy surprise

Matt H comits aviation on the Dual Hang Glider

Trigg very committed on the Calypso

Making the decision early to can towing on the forecast of increasing wind we loaded up with Hangers and Para's and headed to vault bay where we hoped it would be a bit drier as the drizzle was already into west Cornwall.

On arrival it was nicely on the south launch and nicely soarable for Hangers but a bit strong for the Paragliders. Trigg ( still down from Cardiff) was first off on the Calypso and had a really nice flight popping her down in front of the hedge just before a damp patch came through.

Not long after it was almost Sunny so Tony P (Birmingham) took the opportunity to come up Dual on the Discovery, well more as a test dummy actually, and we had a cracking flight in the abundant lift.

Next it was Matt H's (Plymouth) turn as passenger as part of a gift his wife had bought him for his Birthday and what's more it was his birthday today so what more could you ask for. We had a super flight cruising the cliffs with the seagulls and it wasn't long before Trigg cam up alongside on the Calypso. By the time we landed the wind was easing back so Tony P got out his Paraglider and made a clean getaway into strong lift. if anything a little to strong resulting in him landing in the field behind the hedge having run out of penetration ( a common problem i believe).

All good fun and plenty of smiles
