Tandem on Tuesday

 A classic day at Perranporth

 Floating past launch nice and relaxed

 Back on the ground and big smiles all round

With an interesting forecast we went for an early start hoping to get some flying in before lunch as that was when the wind was forecast to move to the SW and it become more showery.

On arrival big grey was already rigged and had been flying his newly acquired Wills Wing Falcon and reported it not as lifty as he would have expected, hmmmmm.

Still we rigged the Tandem Hangy and hoped for more wind.  Bill n proved the lack of lift by flying his newly acquired toy to the beach twice. hmmmmmm.  Luck was with us and after a couple of flights on the Paraglider in improving lift Dave T arrived just in time for the lift to pick up and it become nicely hangable and ideal for a tandem flight.

Dave had no idea he was about to go flying as it was a birthday surprise from his wife so it was all good fun.  We were quickly in the air joining Terry P who it was good to see back in the air.  We had a cracking time floating along the cliffs enjoying the view and playing with the passing sea thermals before popping back in for a super landing.  Dave loved it and who knows we may see him again when he is next down on holiday.

Within and hour the lift had disappeared again so we headed home, nice to hit the slot just right :)
