Don't speak to Mike!

Geeta comes in for a landing after her tandem flight

The Tandem flies high under the cumulus

Soren looking happy as we drift back down to land

Ben sets off for his first release flight and checks tha canopy as he does

Shelly looking pleased with herself at the end of her Taster Day

What was planned to be a quiet day in the field quickly turned into a busy one seeing us fully booked.
On the Hang Gliding front Luke C (Bath) was out for day 3 of his EPC and had a great time moving onto the Mars, perfecting turns and rounding of his day with a high flight and circuit to complete his EPC tasks and start him on his CPC. Well done Luke and the smile on your face said it all.
Mike P (also Bath) was back for day 3 of his EPC after a 4 month break. He managed to get back o where he was and move nearer to the end of his tasks also moving onto the Mars and starting tighter turns, another smiley face.
On the Paragliders Shelly (Lizard) was out for a Taster Day and worked well through the morning getting the ground work sorted under Kaz's watchful eye. After lunch she was onto the hand tows then finished off her day with 3 lovely flights across the field at heights getting up to 60' and looking like she really enjoyed it, maybe try the Hanger next time Shelly??
Ben C ( Falmouth) was out on day two of his EPC having decided to carry on after his Taster day and did well perfecting his ground handling before getting onto the winch. Ben was as steady as ever and moved nicely into release flights whilst getting his landings better each time.
Rod G (Falmouth) continued on his quest towards Paramotoring getting the basics of Paragliding sorted and again after some groundwork got onto the winch and put in some cracking flights to take him to the edge of his EPC tasks.
Mark F had a cracker looking very competent on the ground in both forward and reverse and the same in the air (without the reverse bit). On the tow he quickly finished his EPC tasks and completed his day with some High flights and circuits mixing it with the low cumulus that was floating by to not only enjoy the flying but the views also.
The fun continued with Joe T , Geeta and Soren all coming up for Tandem flights on the Paraglider and having a great time again enjoying what was an amazing view with the clouds peeling off north cliffs along with the thrill of flying.
Nice to see Martin R (Plymouth) and his son Mike who came to look at a glider which they took away with them and look forward to getting Mike going on a Hang Glider soon.
Well done to the team for keeping the day running smoothly but please remember Dont't talk to Mike!! (well not all day anyway.............
Ohh nearly forgot, after leaving the field it was off to Perranporth to meet up with Justin M (up north) to finish off his hill conversion which he did in fine style so tidying up his paperwork. Nice to see many of this years ex students out there flying and a few of years gone by as well. Bill N looked even more resplendent in his New Flying suit now complete with subtle embroidery.......
