We had a fairly busy day on with a good including from Paraglidng Taster days, Hang Gliding day one, Paragliding CPC and EPC, Paragliding qualified CPC on new wing and last but not least Paramotoring, so it was all go.
Kaz gets going with the day Oner's
Things got moving nicely and we worked steadily through the morning getting ready for towing after lunch. Tim looked after Jim D (Dorset) on the Hangy and the guys got along well in the pleasant breeze whilst Kaz looked after Chris (Plymouth) and Sam k (Camborne) on their first day on the Paragliders and I fiddled about in general!
Todd opens up the bag, is it a snake??
Todd got his crispy new Mojo 4 out of the bag for the first time and fell in love with it straight away as it floated happily above his head in no time. Pete V put in some useful ground handling now on his second day with the aim of Paramotoring along side Ollie C who is well into his CPC and John R (Indian Queens) turned up at lunchtime to pop the Paramotor together.
In Love
Ollie puts the groundwork in
After a bit of wind chasing things settled down and we got underway. John R put in a super flight on the Paramotor now flying his own wing which made the launches a bit harder work but he did fine and got it sussed in the end. he looked really happy in the air and his landing was fine even though a bit quicker than he is used to!
Tim gets Jim to hang about so he can talk to him ....
Then the tow got running with Todd getting his first flights on his new wing and now well ready for the hill, even even popped in another line break to add to the fun. Ollie moved nicely forward through weight shift, normal flying speed and into speed bar so another day or two should see him sorted. Peter V did well and soon relaxed to get the release flights out of the way and start on turns putting him half way through his EPC. The Taster day boys did great both settling down with each flight as they floated across the field and everyone a stand up landing, nice.
last but not least by any means Jim got the Hangy in the air and proved to be a natural :) it was not long before he was off the tether and flying sweetly towards Tim, again every landing a stand up one, ideal.
As the guys packed up John popped in another flight on the Paramotor to gain some more experience and hopefully be ready to try his own unit next time out.
A great way to get back to work after my trip and a super bunch of guys to get going with. thanks to Phil L for his help and we look forward to seeing more of him, week ahead looks good ......
