Doubling up at Chapel


what a playground

The low cloud was forecast to clear and clear it did around mid day so off to Chapel we headed where the wind was smack on (thanks Adie) and looking like good for Paragliding.  Katy (Tintagel) arrived for a tandem flight and by the time I had carried the Tandem Pg to the front the wind filled in so i went back and got the Tandem Hangy which was ideal as this was Katy's preferred choice.

Steve M was up on his Paraglider whilst we rigged and whilst not blown out it was fresh enough so confirming the Hangy as the way to go.  As the sun shone Katy got ready and in no time we were up and away for a super flight cruising the cliffs flying with  the seagulls and Peregrine and watching the rock climbers on the cliffs just above the pounding surf.  Katy was really interested in the way the glider flew and by the end of the flight I think she had pretty much sussed it!
We came in for a peachy landing to round off a lovely flight and experience for Katy.

Kaz perks up a little

With Kaz feeling a little under the weather and the wind easing back again I nipped up on her Buzz Z4 for some fun flying, what nice wings they are:)  Back down again as the wind picked up a bit then off to get the Delta 2 as it dropped again.  By the time I was back at the front Kaz had put in a quick flight but landed just in time as the wind picked up again.  Ok change of plan so I popped up on Kaz's hangy for some more fun before landing near the back to save the carry back.  Finally as the wind dropped a little again I got to fly my Delta in what were probably the best conditions of the day.


I never tire of this view (north)


or this one (south)

With bits of kit all over the hill it was a bit of time pulling them together, think I got them all!  Good to see Sam A making some fine decisions and finally getting some good flying in on his hangy and looking like he was having a ball.

nice to see a familiar face back on the hill ;)
