Sunny days are here again

Kieron C turns into land after morning high flight

Tony B gets set for his first flight on the tow line

Bob H flies across the field in fine style on his second flight

Nigel W makes a perfect take off

Sam A puts in the weight shift spot on cue on the hanger

What a fabulous day it was where ever you were but especially out in the tow field. With perfect conditions we had a variety of pilots on the go all day.
Tony B (John O Groats !) and Bob H (Oakhampton) were along for taster Days and had a great time working well throughout the day and both ending up with some super flights across the filed at heights up to 60' and even some stand up landings.
Kieron C moved way into his CPC tasks with 8 high flights including slow flight appreciation speed bar and active flying, another day or so should see him sorted to CPC tow, nice going.
Sam A (yes paragliding Sam) decided it was time to add another arrow to his bow especially after seeing Graham A flying his hanger at Freathy when it was to strong for Para's and started his hang gliding training. He made me work hard chasing him on the king post tether but it was not long and he was off on his own. By the end of play he was making a good job of it flying across the field with every landing a good one, watch to see how he progresses.
Good to see Steve M, Ray M, Bill N and Nigel W all out practicing ground handling and good to see Nigel W put in a cracking tow at the end of the day his first since going to the hill.
A lovely day and looking at the weather we may be set for a few more to come.
