Vault bay held on to its reputation as not only being one of the most scenic of sites but also being one of the most unpredictable.
On arrival it was ideal hangy weather and whilst Carez enjoyed its delights I rigged the Tandem in preparation for Maria d who having had a taster day on a hangy had decided to find out what its like several hundred feet up. A good turn out of hangies arrived including several from the D&SC club along with some locals and ex students and all rigged. Paul L was along to hopefully complete his soaring tasks and with his wing ready to go I gave the air a quick test before popping back in on top.
Maria arrived and by the time we togged up the gliders in the air were scratching as the wind dropped and moved to the east, within a few minutes it was too light and off!
So change of plan and out came the Paragliders, we had a fun afternoon and Steve T took the chance of having a tandem with me along with Adam J (not at the same time) who had one as a birthday gift. They both had a great time in cracking conditions which by the end of the day, despite the forecast, had filled in again to become top end paragliding but by now all the hangies had long gone.
A bit frustrating but then again typical Vault and after 30 years i am getting used to it!
