Oh what fun

Don't you just love it when the forecast is good and the reality is even better!  It was off to Perranporth where the wind was pretty much smack on and a nice and fresh 22-24 mph.  A few mini wings were playing so having rigged the Tandem Hang Glider in readiness I joined them on the Ozone Zero for a play before handing it over to Bill N to have a go.


Andy ready for the off

Andy (Dad) and James (son) arrived smack on time for their Tandem flights (birthday presents) having travelled down from Bristol the day before and staying on the camp along with Mike (other brother) and Mum Rebbeca.  With the guys briefed and ready, conditions perfect Andy was the first to go.  Off and away into cracking lift we had a super flight playing like a bird and ducking and diving in the abundant lift. Andy had a go at flying the glider and did a fine job before after a good 20 minutes we headed in for a two step top landing to give James a go.


Andy just loving it


inbound for a super landing

With a few stone less on board we went even higher and could have played all day long in the mixture of ridge and thermal lift.  James's ability to control the glider was marginally ahead of Andy's and that was pretty good!  Putting the glider through her paces before once again heading for another tippy toe top landing and they were sorted.  Big smiles then they headed off to St Agnes for the best pasties in Cornwall, well possibly.


James starts his flight as Chris w legs it


what a cracking day


James's face says it all :)

Bill N returned the Zero and you can expect to see a 19 version soon.............  Chris W put in a nice flight on his Wills Wing 155 before performing an excellent top landing then making the mistake of offering me a go.  Fun fun fun I know I rant on but these gliders are so much FUN.


Chris rounds off a lovely flight with a lovely landing

Flown out and talked out it was an early day before heading out on the good old 'Bonnie" for an evening meal out.
