Two's company

Emma can't help but look at the cloud streets (where were you Coady?)

Mike gets checked and ready to go on the Calypso

Andrew on the Mars for one of eleven


Fine views across St Ives Bay from the Tandem

North Cliffs looking glorious with Trevose Head in the far distance

making the most of the weather we were out in the fields again this time with Mike R (St Germans) and Andrew M (Bridport) who were back to continue their Hang Gliding training.
Mike got straight on with it and converted to a chest release before moving onto the Calypso (5th generation wing) to finish off his CPC tasks which he did in fine style. He had a great day putting away 12 flights and thoroughly enjoying the "new" wing. His spot landings were on the case even if the odd flare was a little over zealous, still he was head over heels about it......... Mike rounded off his day by taking his CPC exam and passing it easily so becoming CPC qualified on the tow and is ready to head to the hills.

Andrew M also cracked on jumping straight onto the Mars which he took to with ease. he moved nicely through release flights into gentle turns and by the end of only his second day was releasing at 120' and flying down with some very nice turns on the way. By the time he stopped in mid afternoon he had another 11 flights to his credit and only one flight away from his EPC, pretty good for day two.

With a little time to spare at the end of an early day we played on the Tandem Paraglider towing through the gate which gave some excellent height and amazing views before calling it a day.
Quote of the day " I don't want to abuse myself" ????????????
