Hic ups

An interesting day in the field and whilst not overly busy there was enough going on to keep us on our toes.

Lawrence W (Penryn) was along for a Taster day on the Hangy whilst Josh W (Chiverton) was having one on the Paraglider so they kept both myself and Kaz busy through the morning.  Peter H (Tavistock) was back on a paraglider for some more of his EPC and was joined by Martin J (Plymouth) who was along for some more fun with his experience tows whilst waiting for a return to the hill.

Early afternoon saw the winch in action and things get moving, just as we are in the swing of it and the guys have popped in their first flights the wind changes from the forecast SW to a steady NW so its all change.. Ok off we go again and the winch wont start (operator error)  soon sorted and on we go again.  few tows later and the winch stops  (Phippsy error), no worries we get it sorted and are back on track and things run nicely to th end of the day, they say things come in threes!

By the end of play Lawrence had put in some pretty good flights on the Hangy but the consistency still needs working on. Still he had a fun day and we look forward to seeing hi again soon.

Josh being young did what the youngsters do and made it all look far to easy ending his taster day with a nice release flight.

Peter moved well into his CPC tasks and just had a great time enjoying the air and Martin sorted out his vision problems ........

Quote of the day " where is the nearest petrol station?"
