Early Risers

Bob and Cpt Kev practice formation ground handling

....and synchronised collapses !

Bob, a man at one with his wing

The forecast was for a flyable slot at Perran in the morning then the wind backing and increasing early afternoon. So it was an early start seeing us at Perran before 08.00, but we were still beaten by Dean F who was flying when we arrived.
Conditions were not brilliant but if you picked your slot there was some fun flying to be had on the Paragliders. Sam K newly hill rated did a good job mixing it with the masses on what was a surprisingly bust midweek day before "slope landing" in the dunes as it shut down.
Bob H (Okehampton) came along for his first visit to the hill and and a great time playing with his wing getting used to both it and the hill with plenty of ground handling. conditions never quite got good enough for us to send Bob off but at least he did acclimatise to the new environment.
By 13.00 the wind was on the back and by 14.00 it was on the increase, the forecast was pretty much spot on for once.
