Gliders rigged and ready and conditions spot on :))

Back to the hill with a fresh Northerly forecast to back saw us heading to Sennen Cove  with Adrian C (Warwick) who was along for a Taster day on the hangy.

Another super Sunny day at Sennen and the wind was nicely on and at a nice strength so we cracked on with glider introduction and basic ground handling whilst Kaz rigged her hangy.  Adrian got his head around the basics pretty quickly and it was not long before he was clipped into the harness and ready for some tethering.  In super conditions he got his feet off the ground  and had a fun time "floating on the edge".


Michel ready on launch

Taking a rest and with Michel K having arrived and rigging his hangy I popped up on kaz's wing to test conditions and they were cracking ;).  A bite of lunch and it was time to take Adrian up for a flight on the Tandem hangy.  We had a super flight with Sennen looking as stunning as ever although the "rock pecker" did intrude somewhat into the tranquility....   Adrian got to fly the glider doing as good a job as anyone despite the slightly bouncy conditions, the boys a natural.



Michel does a nice one and.......


.....is soon flying high on his Sport 2 135

Michel came up to join us on his hangy the first time up on it in six months and made a fine job of it after an exciting launch and even with a bit of a head down attitude resulting in a spot of bar munching.  We cam in on the Tandem for a nice landing and Kaz joined in the fun on her hangy whilst we took a break.  Back on the tethers Adrian put into practice what he had learnt on his Tandem flight and did an excellent job as he "soared" on the ropes in the increasing breeze to round off his day with a big smile.


Adrian and Michel celebrate a cracking day as Kaz flies high

Kaz and Michel both put in another flight with Michel doing a super launch and looking much happier with his head up :).  So a lovely day all round and almost relaxing as well and we even got back in time to join in the pilot lectures.
