Michel pleased to be back down safetly whilst Steve J enjoys it on his hangy


It was a breezy enough day at Vault bay keeping the Paragliders in the bags, well almost all of them ....... Still the hangies had a good time and whilst we had to pick and choose our time as the wind peaked then eased again there was some great flying to be had with 800'of ridge lift around.

After a few demo flights to suss conditions we got Kev S (Yeovil) into the air for his third soaring flight and he had a fine time in what were bouncy enough conditions dealing with them well before popping in for a nice top landing and his normal calm grin. Big Gray was out making the most of it and had some stunning flying looking very relaxed on his Sport 2 and getting himself tuned in for the up and coming comp's.

Gary S (Looe) came along for a Tandem flight and had a cracker with plenty of lift giving us space to play and him plenty of time to fly the glider. He really enjoyed the flight and was amazed at how subtle flying a hang glider can be.

Steve J (Oakhampton) got back on the horse after a long break and put in a couple of super flights to get his confidence back, good to see that big smile again Steve :)

Kev completed his hill conversion with another good flight as conditions got nicer towards the end of the day so going from zero to hero in just 5 weekends and a total of 9 days, nice one.

Kieth S (Oakhampton) also got in on the act having a fun time so giving Steve J a good flying partner for times to come. Yes it was Michel on the Paraglider proving if you want it enough you can do it, just....

Ohh yes does anyone have Pampas grass in their front garden???? or a spare wing mirror for a renault ?
