Few in the field

Graeme A comes back to take off as towing gets going

With a good day forecast it was a shame that a couple of those booked in failed to show for one reason or another however for those that were there it was a bonus.

In very light conditions we got the kit out and whilst kaz sorted out Treeve T (Hayle) and Graeme A (Plympton) who were on their CPC's I got Dave D (Truro) started on his taster day.  With no wind to speak of it was always going to be a challenge but Dave was up to it and was soon running across the field and making forward launches look easy.

Treeve comes in on the spot

By the time Malcolm P (Croydon) had arrived with his powered hangy a little breeze was filling in making life easier. Treeve and Graeme cracked on into their CPC 's racking up the flights and the spot landings as conditions continued to improve.  As conditions got nice we popped Dave onto the line and he put in his first flight in fine style looking every bit like he had done it before.

Malcolm took advantage of a rest in the towing to get his powered hangy up and away and had a super flight as the sun came out taking in some amazing views around the coast and across to St Ives before coming back for a wheeled landing.

Towing recomenced and by the end of play Graeme had sorted getting into his harness, Treeve had completed his CPC flying tasks and Dave had had an amazing taster day ending on a cracking release flight, nice one guys.

So an early finish for a change with everyone flown out and plenty of smiles all rouns, looks like we may have a few days off if the weather forecast is right.
