Hill Billy's

Don't you just love Sennen Cove particularly when the sun is out , the breeze is on and the holiday makers have not yet arrived!

Dave B (Praze) and Steve L (Ivybridge) are both along for hopefully their first hill soaring flights having got well sorted in the tow field over the past few weeks. In what were light but lifty conditions the guys got set to go after a bit of refresh ground handling whilst we waited for the morning breeze to return.


Two wise men saw Dave hangs in there


it's not long before he is up and relaxed

They both did a fine job in the varying conditions putting good soaring flights some of which they had to work for whilst others were easy peezy!  Top landings made life easy most of the time although the odd slope landing helped out as well.


Classic Sennen shot as Steve gets some soaring in

Mixed in amongst their flights Kaz and myself managed to sneak in some fun flying on the Paragliders making a change from yesterdays Hangy day and Robin W who hopes to learn to fly in the future took the chance to get up on the Tandem Paraglider and just loved it and to be fair did a good job of flying it as well!

By the end of play they had pooped in 7 flights between them and both looked very pleased with themselves.  Another day in the field to finish off Asymmetrics with Steve  and one more day each on the hill should see them sorted, nice .


Happy bunnies

Good to see some of the guys from down west out enjoying the day and good to catch up with them.
