Two out of Three ain,t bad

Three day one'rs turned up at the office on what looked a very promising day as the glorious sunshine continued.  Ian L (Falmouth) David LP (Truro) and John W (Newquay) were all along to get a taste of Paragliding and to see if it was for them.

Back in the "normal field) where the grass had been half cut, no not what you think, it was super and you could not wish for a nicer place to be working.  By the time the gliders were checked and ready the wind had filled in a little and the ground handling began.  One by one the guys got it sorted and we were soon getting the hand tows underway.

By now the wind had picked up a little more so we held fire whilst we had lunch and got the tow brief out of the way to see what happened.  Still a bit top end so we put in some more practice at reverse handling whilst I checked the weather and answered phone calls asking if it was flyable at Carbis.  The answer no, although NE and moderate in the field it was NW and light at carbis only 4 miles away! what is going on.

Ian L gets to grips with it backwards :)

An hour later and with the wind easing a little we got towing underway with John leading the way.  Ian followed suit and Dave decided to give it a miss as Paragliding was not going to be his next sport, that is why we call them Taster days!

John and Ian both popped in some nice flights but the wind soon filled again so we called it quits rather than push our luck, there is always another day to finish them off .

Ok, maybe we pushed him a little too hard ...

 Not as good as hoped but still a lovely day with good company plenty of laughs and pretty relaxed, what more can you ask.

Quote of the day "Did you feel that?"
