What's in a forecast?

The tandems rang in early as the force sat was for dampness to come in late morning and stay for the day.  08.00 and it gaslight drizzle already, not looking good ;( 09.00 things were brightening so we got back in touch with them and started the ball rolling by heading out to Chapel Porth.

Yep sure enough it was dry and the wind was on, whilst we waited for the passengers to arrive Kaz and myself tested conditions on the Tandem Pg and there ws plenty of lift around and no sign of rain, ideal.

Hanna H (Surrey)  was first to go and we were soon up and off into a very lift sky seeing us climb out to 500' in no time to reveal some superb views along the north cornish cliffs.  In amongst the sight seeing Hannah had a crack at flying the wing and did a fine job, nice and smooth.  With so much lift we could play as much as we wished before coming in for a nice top landing to be greeted by Haanahs mum and dad and big smiles.


Cracking views along the coast

Next off were brother and sister Dean and Laura with Laura being first up. Once again the lift was cracking and they both had super flights with the added bonus of the sun coming out as well and the 'Banner plane" flying by well below us!  Both had a go at flying the glider and with varying results but neither were bad by any stretch of the imagination.  Two more lovely landings and more smiley
 faces from the family and guess what it was still sunny.

 Dean loving it


Happy faces

In fact the day was a lovely one nothing like forecast what a bonus :))  Thanks to Alistair for his help and to Hannah for her lovely note, sorry to have missed you and look forward to seeing you again.
