Peachy at Chapel, and a few others .....l

Hooray it looks like the weather forecasting is back on track and things seem to be panning out as they say so making plans are a little easier.

Chapel Porth was on as forecast and the sun was out as forecast and with a couple of Tandems flights to do all was good.  Whilst waiting for the passengers to turn up Kaz tested the air on her hangy whilst I gave it a go on the Paraglider, the hangy won with it being nearer top end on the Paraglider.

Sarah ready to go

Sarah  J was first up for a Tandem having been bought it as a present by her partner as a complete surprise.  We could have gone up on either Hanger or Para but we opted for the hanger and a super flight ensued with Sarah's nerves quickly disappearing as we soared the cliffs.  We had a birds eye view of the birds particularly the birds of prey which seemed to be out in force hunting the along the cliffs, they are just so amazing.  With Kaz ready to "catch" us we made a smooth landing back on top with Sarah expleating just what a fab' time she had had even before we unclipped.

With the wind filling a little more and the sky filling with hangies it was Danny's turn who was down on holiday from Woolacombe for a spot of surfing and a surprise Tandem flight from partner Fay who had kept it a secret up until the last moment, well nearly.  I think Danny was even more nervous than Sarah but he still manged to be a fine passenger only cutting the blood off to my wrist once and nearly crushing my shoulder twice!  Danny soon relaxed and we had another cracking flight joined by Kaz on her hangy as we played above the waves crashing in to the cliffs making it all the more dramatic.  Swooping for a tippy toe top landing rounded off an experience that Danny will never forget and all we need to do is to get Fay up next time!

The rest of the day was made up with a nice mixture of Hang Gliding and Paragliding as conditions were good for both and the 9 hangies all made the most of it with good landings all round.  The Paragliders that were there had fun as conditions mellowed in the afternoon and once again the Delta 2 got "stolen" by Phil but in fairness I did pinch his Sport 2 first.....

Dunno never saw him (is the contraption in the foreground anything to do with him ?)

A packhorse called Peachy

Thanks to Peachy for his help and making the most a few days in Cornwall by not only flying but sorting several pilots ailments, I do believe he has nearly cracked it, or was that just my back ??????

Party in the park

A fun impromptu tea party/picnic in the car park was a fun way to chill out before heading home
