Getting High & Stoned

It's not quite as bad as it sounds .........  Perranporth was on for the day and whilst the forecast was for the wind to increase in the afternoon it never really happened and it was largely flyable for Paragliders for most of the day.

Perran gets going nice and tidily ;))

After some fun flying on the Para's it was time to to take Penny A up for a Tandem flight who was really looking forward to it and had patiently waited for the right day over the last few weeks.  We had an absolutely lovely flight in what were changeable conditions with the lift filling in nicely throughout the flight giving us the opportunity to fly the whole length of the ridge, nice.

Penny really appreciated it and was full of questions about how and why whilst soaking in the views and keeping a close eye on the birds of prey as they hunted for lunch.  It was great for Penny to experience what her son Carl R who we taught a few months ago now does for fun and no doubt talks about, shame Carl was not there to fly alongside but work got in the way.

The rest of the day was taken up with a bit more flying and carrying out an assessment on Simon S to sort out his Paragliding rating, always an interesting exercise from both sides and Simon took it all well. Simon also took the opportunity to have a fly on my Delta 2 his reaction ......  well I nearly did not get it back!

There was plenty else going on including a few altercations involving a Dog, a "pilot" and some projectiles.   All interesting ones, but at the end of the day who has most to lose?

Quote of the day "where's Adie ? Oh he's only a stones throw away ;))))))"
