A cracking looking morning saw us head to the field where the sky was blue and the wind light but already convergence cloud could be seen building up not a good sign that early in the day. Cracking on we wasted no time in getting going and soon Todd A (Torquay) was off to the top of the line to continue his CPC tasks. Todd now well settled into his flying made good use of the available time putting away Active flying and Speed bar tasks along with some good spot landings before the rain arrived.
Joining him was Paddy B (Falmouth) who having completed his CPC tasks spent the morning having fun and building experience as well as practising Big ears along the way. Spot landings to paddy have always come easy and today was no different. By the time Shaun S (Penzance) arrived the convergence cloud was pretty much on us and the first drops of rain fell so we nipped towing in the bud and headed home for some theory work.
Just about sums it up .....
Over several cups of tea the guys refreshed their theory before Todd and Shaun took their CPC exams both doing a fine job and passing nicely followed by a debrief on the incorrect answers by Kaz so learning along the way. With enthusiasm high we headed to the "shed" where the guys tried on harnesses for size and shape followed by helmets and generally getting kit sorted as they need their own from here on.
A check of the weather showed the chance of some hill work tomorrow and the possibility of an early start for Shaun and Paddy , we shall see. Well done on passing your exams guys and it won't be long before Todd joins Shaun and Paddy in gaining his CPC rating :)
