Another hot and sunny one in the field and as it turned out ideal for Tim W (Shropshire) and Paul H (Ivybridge) to get going on the start of their Paramotoring and Paragiding courses respectively.
Strange story with Paul who is a Falconer (what two in two weeks!) he recently acquired an additional Pigeon in his loft which turned out to be one of the racing ones that were released from Sennen cove a few weeks back when we were there with Todd, what a small world we live in or is it just spooky ......
The guys worked steadily through the morning with Clare (Pauls other half) keeping us all well hydrated with ice cool drinks, fantastic. Pete V was along to get up on his new paramotor (Parajet) and spent the morning getting it sorted, well nearly....
Early pm and it was time to get things going on the winch. Both the guys did a great job building up the tows and finishing with nice release flights to set them up well for their next days out.
A couple of test flights on Pete's Paramotor to get things set up for him and and a bit of adjusting here and there and he was ready to go. Being careful of the extra power and the re activeness of his new wing harness combination was a good thing and Pete was soon up and away. 15 minutes later he was back down for a pretty good landing and smiling like a Cheshire cat:)
Paul B had now also joined us and took the chance to fly his own wing on the school unit making it all look pretty smooth but again taking time to settle into the more reactive wing. By the end of play they had both put in several cracking flights with views to remember and stand up landings all round.
So yet another cracking day, this is how it should be and with super company all round, well done to all and look forward to seeing up again soon.
