Funday Sunday

What a cracking day with lovely sunshine and pleasant winds all day, yummy. Today the Hangies outnumbered the Paras but it was just as good for both.

Keith W (N Devon) dropped by and put in some ground handling before popping in a refresher tow and making the decision to pursue the Paramotor route, hopefully he will be back in a couple of days to get started.

The Paragliders get going

Stuart C (Devon) was back after a 12 month lay off and went the other way deciding to put Paramotoring on hold and pursue Paragliding instead.  Stuart had a cracking day putting away 9 flights and working well into his CPC tasks and just loving it, if he carries on like this it won't be long before he is qualified.

Nice hand position, not so sure about the rest ....

On the Hangy front Tom G and James C (Andover and Exeter) were back again and had a super day moving through the reaming EPC flights and getting the whole airspeed thing sorted finally which saw them turning nicely and even landing nicely!  Tom lead by example (some better than others) and by the end of the day and 9 flights each they had reached the top of the line twice each.  Difficult to explain their reactions but it was pretty good:)


Up and away


 and release

Darren G (Stroud) who had done a Taster Day on the hill a few months ago was back for more and after a bit of groundwork and tow theory was ready for his first flights on the winch. Darren did a cracking job and was soon off tethers and rattling up the flights, finishing off his tenth one as a release. great work and hopefully when we see him again in a few weeks he will carry on just as well.


Happy hangies at the end of the day

Tim on the winch did a fine job overseeing Kaz as she completed her hangy tow training to add to her Paragliding operators licence, well done to both. And well done to Lee K for getting away from the Brea, nice one

Quote of the day "I hope that's mud.........."
