Patient at Perran

 Russ practices mincing whilst ground handling

 Martin works off a bit of weight whilst waiting to fly, came in handy as it turned out

 Kaz spouts a giant mohican !

With the occluded front passing through we  canned towing and went for the hill in the afternoon.  At Perran we expected the wind to be off a little but with only a small beach at Chapel and then only for a short time it was not the place to go with low airtimers.......

Things were actually better than we thought and whilst they guys got their kit sorted Kaz and myself had some nice flying on the Paragliders on an almost deserted site.

Conditions got variable so we spent the time perfecting Russel S (Plymouth) ground handling and launch technique whilst Martin J (Plymouth) just worked on his hill ground handling and did a very good job of it too.

As conditions got better again we took the opportunity to get the guys up there with russel going first and putting his third soaring flight with us before slipping in for a top landing.

Martin was next had had a fine time as he floated up and down before the lift lessened. Still with some smooth flying and patience he hung in there until it returned and up he went again.  With altitude regained he came in for a fine top landing to round off his second soaring flight. Only two more to go and he is sorted.

despite hopingto get the tandem out it was not to be so with sunburnt faces we headed home and fell asleep on the sofa!
