Gay gets up on her Buzz after flying her Sport 2 (Hanger)
Chris M and Sam A lined up in the lift
Sam as the sun begins to set
Truck looking the partAfter a spell of high winds is was good to see the forecast slot develop into a nicely flyable one at Chapel Porth.
Alex had driven down from Plymouth with her friend Kate who had bought her a Tandem flight for her 21st birthday. Conditions were such that we could choose between the hanger or the Paraglider but we opted for the hanger and what a good choice it was. After a quick demo flight Alex togged up and we were soon stood on the "edge". A lovely take off saw us up and away for a super flight with amazing views of the crashing surf along the cliffs. Alex had a fine time getting a chance to fly the glider and experience the thrill of hang gliding whilst Kate tried out her new camera from the ground.
A sweet landing saw us back on the ground with big smiles all round and a the icing on the cake was that it was actually Alex's birthday today so it all came together well.
Next it was play time for Shaun W who had dropped by with his new Ozone Buzz Z3 for some ground handling and he soon got into the swing of it getting a feel for his new wing and how much more reactive it is compared to the training wings, be good to try it in the air next time.
I put in some practice with the Delta both in the sky and on the ground sussing out how to control the wings energy and use it to my advantage, must say I am falling in love with it , anyone up for a Rush 2 medium??
Nice to see Paul H and Gay J out flying both hangers and para's and Sam A and Chris M drop by mid afternoon on their Paragliders. Lovely afternoon is it the start of spring??
