It was a busy day for us in the field with 6 Para's and 3 Hangers on the go, not as many as we can take but as many as we like to take to ensure everyone gets plenty of flying in and progress made.

Once again the forecast proved pretty much on the nail and a 09.00 start saw us setting up for a NW tow in near perfect conditions.  Whilst half the Paragliders practised ground handling the other half and the hangies got on the winch.  First off was Neil T (London) who was down to finish of his tow rating and sort out his foot launch and landing skills having just learnt but mainly on "the wheels". Neil had a great day putting away 9 tows and looking good by the end of the day and never once landing on his knees, hopefully problem sorted.

Next for the Hangies was James C (London) who after just two weeks in Cornwall had finished his CPC Tow and was doing consolidation ready for the hill. James had a fun time and soon converted onto the Calypso on which he spent the rest of the day playing and practising, again no muddy knees over his 9 flights.

The final Hangy was Adam W (Penryn) who made good progress by finishing off his EPC tasks before heading off to the top of the line to start his CPC and guess what?  Yep all good stand up landings here as well and another 9 flights to his credit.  So if you have a problem with your hangy landings give us a call.......

Miles T (Illogan) led the way for the Paragliders and on his third day did very nicely finishing off his EPC tasks before heading to the top of the line to start his CPC.  Having to leave early he still managed 7 flights and got home on time.

Joe H (Helston) on his second day polished off his non release flights before moving into releases, then turns and then bigger turns and finally he to completed his EPC tasks and ended the day with a high flight to get a taste of his CPC and 10 more flight under his belt.

Steve W (Plymouth) was back after a short break and again on his third day polished off the EPC tasks before heading to the top of the  line.  By the end of the day he had moved nicely into his CPC tasks and looking very comfortable as he relaxed back into the harness.  Another 9 flights to his log and the airtime starting to build.

With some good ground handling practise done the other half joined in the towing with the guys pushing Anna to the front.  Anna P (Hayle)having done some good work wit her ground handling never quite settled on the tow on her 4 flights despite a good effort so we decided to give her a rest and try again tomorrow.

Ian F (Hayle) hopped on the line and after an overactive start soon smoothed out to do some lovely flying and completed his EPC tasks before finishing off the day with a couple of high flights to get going on his CPC.

Treeve T  (Hayle) followed suit and had a cracking time completing his EPC before also having a couple of trips to the top of the line to round off a perfect day.

Phil L(Illogan)  also manged to sneak onto the line after unwrapping his brand new Ozone Buzz Z3 and ground handling it for a while. He had some super flights looking very at home and enjoying its super flying characteristics and extra performance, his verdict :)

With 75 tows put away and most of the guys doing a good day and a halfs work things worked out well, all helped along by some lovely weather, super towing (Tim), nice bike riding (Phil0) , excellent instruction and assisting (Kaz and Bill) and the guys being organised.  Nice

Quote of the day "Nice helmet Steve" Steve blushed .........
