Angela I gets set to go on an EPC flight
Derek J takes first release on his Sport 2
Bob H looks happy as he prepares to aviate
Ed B heads to the top to the top for a speed bar flight
Some of the guys relax over a spot of lunch
Sam A returns after a high flight on the Mars
Alastair A does "Nodding Dog" and stays on line as he does his tow conversionWith a full house booked it was always going to be a long day and with the wind forecast a little strong to start with but easing as the day went on patience was to be the name of the game.
Sure enough the morning saw the Paragliders ground handling in challenging conditions whilst the Hang Gliders got on with some flying. Graham A (Torrington) took the slot before it got too breezy to fly his Doodle bug in what proved to be lifty conditions.
Terry P (Exeter) consolidated on his CPC by flying as a qualified pilot to gain further experience for the hill and continued to improve with each flight.
Sam A finished off his EPC tasks and moved into his CPC with his first high flights on the hang glider much to his delight and seems to have grasped the basics so hopefully things will move on well.
Derek J (Caerphilly) was down to build up his confidence and had a fine day rounded off by a super high flight with perfect landing so putting his head into the right place.
Slowly the wind eased back allowing the Paragliders to get moving and by late afternoon they got onto the winch. Ian and Ed B (Newton Abbot) both had a fine time nearly finishing off their CPC tasks leaving only Asymmetrics and the exam to go so hopefully next time should sort them out.
Bob H (Tavistock) got stuck into his EPC tasks and earned the title of smooth Bob by the end of the day!
Mike C (Perranwell) also moved well into his EPC tasks looking very solid and having a great time.
Angela I returned after her taster day to start her EPC and had a good day despite her nerves as she completed her release flights and started on gentle turns.
Alastair A (Helston) came along to start his tow conversion and with several hundred hours under his belt did a fine job from the start and put in some excellent flights to the top.
It was 20.00 hrs by the time we stopped play but there were a lot of happy faces.....
