Steady on guys
Adi gets it cracked on his first day
Paul flying by the light of the moon
Is it a bat or is it paul, Trev tries to work it outIt was an interesting day in the tow field where things got off to a good start with Adi (Illogan) on his first day of a 2 day taster going through the basics under Kaz's instruction whilst Paul W (Truro) nearing the end of his CPC Paragliding, Trev H (Paignton)and Shaun W (Camborne) both out for additional experience tows in preparation for the hill readied their kit.
As we got the winch going conditions were perfect and I popped in a couple of demo'/check out flights then Trev got going with the hangy. Then Mike C turned up for some towing to keep his hand in between hill flights and the wind dropped and moved. The next few hours were a little on the frustrating side as we moved the winch to and fro chasing a wind that was up and down and round and round with only the odd tow in between.
Shaun finally cracked and after only one flight on his new Buzz Z3 (which he got on with well)called it a day and was soon followed by Mike C and Trev deciding to de rig. Just as in the old days no sooner had Mike left the wind settled down at a perfect strength and the games began!
Adi having done all the hard work was soon putting in his first flights on the tow and did a great job over three lovely flights each better than the one before seeing him getting up to 60' in the air.
Paul cracked on with his CPC tasks and by the time the sun had gone and the moon was up he had completed them all and got a couple of extra flights in for the fun of it totalling 11 flights so finishing off his CPC, well done.
Sorry you missed it Mike but thanks for leaving , next time could you go a couple of hours earlier please........
