Very Busy Bees



 Mike B does a cracking inflation to start of a cracking flight

 Ann W watches as Colin B gets his first flight in

 Dave S studies Phippsy whilst Bill instructs him how to become a Morris Dancer

 Rodders get's back in the air with legs up a little early

 Rodders and Mike b ready to go again

 Stuart puts in a bit of Russian step work as he launches

 Another stage completed in Emils quest to become a Paraglider Pilot

It was full on in the field with pretty much a full house and fortunately the weather to match :)

Things were quiet on the Hangy front with Graham A (Bill Whizz) along to start his EPC after having had a Tandem flight with us a few months ago which sealed his fate!  Graham did really well as he worked through the morning exercises before getting onto the winch after lunch. he popped in several nice flights across the field before having to leave early to entertain some lucky children.

On the paraglders it was a different story with 5 Day oner's being joined by 4 students later in the day. Mike B (Sidmouth), Ann W (Dartmouth, Colin B (Dartmouth), Stuart C (Saltash) and Dave S (Illogan) all got going together and whilst we split them into 2 groups were all pretty much ready to go by early afternoon having done the hard work in the morning.  On the winch they did remarkably well putting in some nice flights across the field and nearly everyone ending up with stand up landings after a bit of practice!

They were joined by Rodders (Moushole) who was back for his second day of his EPC and managed to move ahead a little into release flights after some refresh work due to period away. Ian F (Gwithian) pushed on further into his CPC flights getting Speedbar and Big ears sorted as well as sweetening up his towing in general. jack S (Truro) was as enthusiastic as ever and had a ball moving well into his CPC tasks so nearing the end of his tow course in double quick time. Emil K (Yeovil)  also mega enthusiastic completed his CPC flying tasks in fine style and then rounded off the day by passing his Theory exam so congratulations to him.

A busy but fun day and once again so good to see so many people doing things that they never thought they would be doing by the end of the day.  Big thanks to Tim, Bill Martin and Jack for helping out through out the day and to Big G for a spell on the bike both Kaz and I really appreciate it.
