Fitting it in on Friday ;)

Another day when the plan worked out, well pretty much so.

We started off in the tow field with Josh LD (Glastonbury) coming along for a taster day on the Paragliders along with Gary T (St Austell) returning after a years lay off to continue with his EPC.  Julian  was also out after completing his CPC on the tow for a few experience tows in readiness for the hill.

A bit breezy to start with but fine for ground handling so whilst gary got himself re aquainted with things Josh cracked on with the basics and was soon ground handling like a pro!  Guess if you are the kind of guys who likes to pump 4 million volts through your body you pick things up pretty quickly!

The wind mellowed and we got towing under way in nice conditions and under a clear blue sky, just like summer should be.  Whilst gary re capped his turns to complete his EPC flying tasks before popping one in to the top to start his CPC Josh got his first taste of towing.

He did a fine job even if his break dancing days did re visit him briefly .......... . By the end of play as the wind filled again Josh had got it sorted and was looking good if a little tired and had decoded to carry on, Julian had had a great time without me in his ear all the time, and gary was stoked with his first high flight, so plenty of happy faces, oh and Daisy had learnt to winch again!!!

So with time to spare we upped sticks and headed to Sennen Cove where we arrived just as the wind eased back to a comfortable level for the low airtimers. Whilst we waited for the beach to get a little bigger as the tide receded Julian got his hill brief sorted and some ground handling as well.

A couple of test flights and conditions were good so Steve L popped in a nice flight on the school Element to keep his hand in whilst he waits for his Buzz Z4 to arrive (Tuesday I think)  and had a fun time.  With the beach getting bigger by the minute Julian was off and away and did a great job on his first hill flight soaring the cliffs and looking super smooth as he did it.  The lift eased a bit which kept him going up and down and up and down until finally we brought him in on the front for a fine landing a big handshake and a huge smile.

Peachy, Kaz and Chris  all had a ball in the evening air before we settled down for an on the hill BBq and a bit of a chin wag.  Cracking day, looking forward to more of them :))
