8 up at Vault

Dredgy gets some ground handling in with the tandem in practice for his rating

Simon M starts the ball rolling on the first tandem flight

Joe ("group organiser") does a fly by

Sonda Goose steps us off the hill

Steve M sneaks into the group shot before disappearing!

Putting our faith in the forecast we headed to vault bay armed with the Tandem Hanger and Paraglider and a bust day scheduled. On arrival it was a super day but light, very light. Still with things forecast to pick up a little we waited and whilst it was a bit of a gamble by the time the tandem passengers started to arrive things were getting a little better. By 13.00 it became soarable on Paragliders and not long after that we were in the air on the Tandem.

First up was Simon M (St Ives) who having seen us regularly over Carbis Bay came along to try it out and had a super flight. Next were a group of friends from Falmouth who were celebrating some birthdays and life in general and despite suffering hang overs made the most of what was a gorgeous day. We started with Joe (based on her weight) followed by Emma, Sonda? (Dutch) , Will, Dougie an last but not least (especially a conditions got even better) Andy. They all had a top time and were a pleasure to take up making the whole experience fun all round, we even managed to get them sorted in time to watch the Rugby.........:(

To round the day off Kaz came up for a flight in what were by now lovely conditions with nice beach thermals giving us extra lift, very nice.

Plenty of pilots out playing and good to see Shaun and Paul putting in the airtime and learning along the way, there's always something to learn.
