It was always going to be a challenge with heavy showers forecast but on arrival things looked a lot nicer with hot a sunny weather in the field although off to the west it was heavy cloud.
We set up quickly in t shirts and shorts then just as we got good to go the cloud came over us and the rain came down. Still we waited it out and finally things looked better although there was still dampness around.
Tiege S (Hereford) made use of the damper time on the hangy and popped in 7 flights moving him onto the Falcon, into release flights and starting turns as well. he had a ball putting in a days worth in a few hours.
As conditions dried out a bit Richard M (Exmoor) put in his second flight on the Paramotor and did a fine job of it with a great launch and landing to match, hopefully his new wing will be here for the next time he is down.
The Paragliders then joined in the fun with Miles T (Illogan) making along overdue return and settling in quickly. Jack was in the same boat but managed to make headway resulting in him getting his EPC cracked and doing his first high flight. Ian F (Conner Downs) got upon his new Gin Bolero 4 and looked very settled on it from the word go.
As forecast the wind then filled in and conditions got a bit bouncy so we rounded off the day with some cake (Kaz's birthday) and a bit of theory. Not a bad call all things considered :)
