Progressors

Kev watches as Tom does a recap flight

James W gets going on his first tow

Tom d looks pretty happy after his first high flights

Another good day in the field saw lots of progress by all who were there along with lots of fun and good humour.

Although very light winds were forecast we did actually have a fairly steady breeze although it did move about a bit giving a couple of winch relocation's. Kev S (Yeovil) got the ball rolling on the Hang Glider as he played catch up with Michel to complete his CPC flying tasks. He had a great day and by the end had completed all his tasks and finished off by just having fun flights around the field whilst avoiding cloudbase.

Tom D (Stratford on Avon) was back also on a hanger to start his CPC having completed his EPC last year (6 months ago) and quickly got back into it after a few tows before heading to the top of the line for high flights and finishing off with basebar conversions and big smiles. Tom's dad Tot (long time hangy pilot) was also along to keep an eye on us but fell asleep!

On the Paragliders Adi C (Illogan) had a top day moving through speedbar and into instability tasks commenting " cant see the sense in making a perfectly good wing collapse on purpose", he does have a point! Still he did well both in his tasks and in his towing which came together nicely through the day.

James W (Wadebridge) joined us for an assessment day having learnt abroad and had a great day learning to tow and showing us what he could do. he did really well cracking towing and moving into high flights by mid afternoon then carrying on to get half way through his tow endorsement by the end of play.

The team of Bill Kaz and Cpt Kev did a fine job keeping things moving making sure we made the best of the day and everyone is nicely set up for tomorrow fingers crossed.

Quote of the day How shall we find out if the cloud is too low? " send a Paraglider up" from young hang glider pilot.......
