Combining

Mike R at launch whilst Phippsy does the "work"
Mike makes a classic take off, lovely hand position.

Line released

Coming into land with a flare a bit on the early side

It was a breezier day than yesterday so mac who was along for a two day Taster on the Paraglider to an early bath to save time for the weekend when it is forecast to be lighter.

Chris B (Bristol) was along for a Day on the Hang Glider and showed a good degree of ability from the start jelling with the ground work easily. After lunch he put in a few hand tows before putting away 4 tows on the winch some of which were better than others but all showed improvement in various aspects.


Caraoline P (Looe) worked hard going through the ground work alongside Chris to sort out a few basic problems before getting on the line. Converting from the Condor to the Mars went fine but getting her legs under her at landing seems a challenge.......


Mike R (St Germans) had a good day towing well in the by now bumpy conditions to finish of his EPC tasks so gaining his first qualification in the sport and showing that the high flight and circuit is next on the cards.

To top the day off the "Bird seed" field has now been cut and baled so giving us up to 550 m tows on the right directions, hmmmmmmmmmmmm


Quote of the day "what a difference a couple of inches makes"
