Record breaking

Joe W sets off for a high flight on the Mars

Joe sets up to land

On finals, get your legs down time

The day started well with a good mixture oh hangers and Paragliders booked in and the Sun shining. By the time we reached the field and the hangers were rigged and the Para's had completed their "PLF's" he breeze had picked up, so after a couple of testing sessions with a Paraglider we called it a day for them and they headed off to enjoy sunny west Cornwall.

The Hangers then got on the line in what were excellent conditions for them and they made the most of them. Mike P (Bath) got onto his new wing and spent the day getting used to it putting away 8 flights and keeping kev on the winch and myself on our toes.

Joe G (Brighton) had another busy day moving into high flights and his CPC tasks which by the end of the day he had completed in fine style with a huge grin. Putting in a total of 24 flights through the day he set a new record and had lots of fun as he worked through spot landings, prone flying, stalls and even had a "nice" line break all of which he took in his stride. So after arriving with us last Sunday he heads back to Brighton with his CPC tow under his belt and looking forward to returning to complete his hill conversion soon.

After towing it was off to start the Pilot workshops which went well with participants starting on Airlaw. Everyone entered into the spirit and with a slice of Kaz's cake it was a fun session, see you guys next week.
