Big Wednesday

 Things get busy with plenty going on

 Kaz keeps an eye on Joe as he gets his first hill soaring flights in
Phil rounds off the day with a nice flight on the Falcon

It was one of those forecasts which looked very nearly perfect for some hill work and as it turned out it very nearly was.  arriving with the tide still in we wasted no time in rigging the Falcon 195 whilst James C and Phil L rigged the Calypso hoping to complete their hill endorsements.

Joe H was along for his first day on the hill fresh from the tow field and made good use of the time whilst we waited for the beach with some excellent ground handling as he settled into life on the hill.

Ian L (Bristol) and Roddy (Helston) were both along to have a go at Hang Gliding and got their first feel of a glider followed by some super ground runs along the top in the morning session.

With the beach opening up and Joe looking good on the ground we set him off for his first hill soaring flight which he did in fine style looking comfortable from the start.  Joe had a ball floating up and down with the others before landing back on top with a big smile. by the end of the day he had four flights to his credit and only needs another day out to complete his qualification.

Chris B (Plymouth) joined in the fun on his paraglider his first time back on the hill in a year and did a great job putting in a couple of super flights and looking like he had never been way, Again another day and he should be sorted, well done.

As the day drew on the lift got better and the wind began to fill in and soon it was time for the hangies.  James led the way followed by Phil and they both put in a super flight on the Falcon  each complete with top landing before James rounded off the day with a final flight on the Calypso to complete his hill conversion.

A busy old day with another hangy hill conversion sorted another on the verge and a couple of paraglding ones very nearly, if only there was a day like this every week!  Thanks to Ian and Roddy for their patience we hope you had a good time and look forward to getting you going for real soon.
