Carbis Bay was the place to be for those wanting to get some ridge soaring in. With near perfect conditions for paragliders at 10.30 Nigel w took to the air for day two of his hill conversion. despite not having flown on the hill for nearly a month he did a fine job quickly settling in and enjoying a cracking flight. After a nice top landing he was off again this time flying with several others who were out. Another good landing in different conditions as the breeze dropped saw him sneak in before things got scratchy nearly seeing a few on the beach, but with some nice flying all managed to stay airborne till the lift picked up again.
Having completed his conversion to the hill he enjoyed another 3 flights as a qualified pilot so making the "break". Nice one and keep an eye out for him on the hill.
With the wind filling in a little we broke out the hanger and Kaz having already had some nice Paragliding had a super flight as the wind and sea thermals picked up. She was joined by several of the experienced paragliders as it became top end for para's in general before popping it in on top nicely.

Dave T was down from Exeter and beyond to put in some airtime having come back into flying after a lay off and doing a refresher day with us a month or two ago. He had a great time in some super air and I had a great time flying with him on Kaz's wing the first time in a long time we have flown together.

Good to see quite a few out having fun in the spring air. Sam A made the effort but unfortunately his timing was just out as he arrived as the wind picked up, still we will have him sorted on a hanger soon!
