Park and Ride

It was back to the hill with a fresh NE forecast to ease as the day went on.  Nice to to see Tim J out bright and early joining myself and Phil L at a blustery Carbis bay.

Whilst the guys rigged their hangs i popped the Tandem together in readiness for Dave W who was on his way from Dartmouth for a Tandem flight bought as gift by his family, no pressure ……

With everything sorted I took the opportunity to have a flight (or two) on the Aska in cracking conditions, plenty of lift but not to rough making it playtime :)  Down on the dunes I could see Dredgie playing with his Little Cloud and having fun.

Happy Dave :)

Tim tested the air for the hangies soon followed by Phil and they both had a cracking time scooting off towards St Ives.  With the arrival of Big G and Mike B (S. Devon) also came Dave so it was time to get going. Dave was suitably nervous but a good briefing convinced him and we were soon off and away into a super sky.  Whilst the Paragliders played down on the dunes we had a a ball up top enjoying the view and Phil honing around us on his Sport 2.

THANKS :))

As the wind slowly eased a few para's ventured up to join us to add to the fun.  Slipping back in to land we arrived back in one piece to Daves relief to round off a lovely flight and one well worth the drive for.

Phil kindly let me have a spin on his hangy, never turn down a flight on a Sport 2,  and before I knew it the day was passing by.  Andy R joined in on his hangy and as the wind eased further a few more Paragliders joined in.  Whilst derigging Phil spotted something unusual which saw me speeding off in the truck but all's well that ends well.

Spot the paraglider

found him :)

A nice day to be out making the most of life.
