Cool At Carbis

The tandem flies high over Lelant sands

 Cruising the cliffs, what a big beach

We timed our arrival at Carbis just right as while the guys had been flying for an hour or so it was a bit scratchy. However withing 30 minutes of arriving things got better and gliders started to get high and play about.  Kaz tested the air and confirmed it was fine so we wasted no time in getting the Tandem Paraglider out and getting going.

Martin P (St Ives) was first up and had a lovely time flying over an area he knows well and waving at his wife walking the dogs on the beach, can't be bad.  martin enjoyed it so much we may well see him for a Taster day and then who knows, and living so close to one of the top sites it would almost be rude not to!

Next up was Debbie m (Newcastle) who timed her holiday in Cornwall just right for a Tandem flight.  After a bit of fun at take off we were up and away to mix it with the rest and play with the sea thermals as they popped through making life interesting. Debbie was very relaxed once we got up there and snapped off some nice piccies of a very different view of St Ives and the train.  As the train made it return journey we popped back in on top to round of a super flight.

Next was Andy G (Illogan) who had a voucher as a Birthday gift and made the most of it. Living so close Andy had seen our truck but never realised we did Paragliding as well as Hang Gliding so was delighted to find out that we did.  Again we had a cracking flight and the sea thermals just kept coming so we kept flying. Finally we landed back on top to round off the tandems for the day as the wind picked up a little and moved to the North.

With the skies clearing of Paragliders and the wind still on the hill enough James C took the opportunity to get his second hill soaring flight in on the hangy and did an excellent job of it from take off to landing.  One more like that and he is sorted :)

Nice to see so many out and great to see Phil L up (and above everyone) on his Buzz Z3 on his first day out as a fully qualified pilot from the school. Now his real learning curve begins .........  Well done to Nigel W for his first hangy flight off Carbis and a bit more experience under his belt.

Sorry no piccies but if you have some pop them to me and I will add
