Ian and Ed B wait at the gate to fly as qualified CPC tow pilots
Lucy takes off on the Tandem for a fun flight and unique experience 
Mike C, Bob (smooth) H & Sam K all happy at becoming EPC qualified
Coming back after a high flight with convergence cloud behind that Coady was playing in.
Jerry W gives Phippsy a man hug having completed his CPC tow on the Hang GliderNever known a day like it. After a slow start in the field whilst the wind sorted itself out things rolled along nicely as the sea breeze kicked in giving good training conditions and even some nice bits of lift around to play with.
Sam K (Perranporth) now on his third day in a row was joined by Mike C (Peranwell) and Bob H (Tavistock) as they progressed into their EPC's. We managed to get them all going on similar flight plans and by the end of the day they had flown through the EPC tasks and got stuck into the CPC tasks with lovely high flights each. Add to this the EPC theory exams and they passed the first part of their qualifications.
Ian and Ed B (Newton Abbot) were along to hopefully complete their CPC's which they both did by performing some excellent Asymmetric collapses (after a first class demonstration by Bill N) along with a good number of additional flights as qualified pilots having also taken and passed their theory exams.
Jerry W (Hereford) was out to complete his CPC on the Hang Glider and had a good day passing his theory exam with flying colours and then adding a few extra flights giving him the chance to fly the Calypso before he headed home with a big smile.
Lucy and Dave (Bournemouth) came along for tandem flights on the Paraglider and both had a fun time enjoying the view and the unique experience.
A super day in great conditions and with everyone going home with a qualification it can't be bad. Ohh and saw the first vapour trails for a few days!
