Life is good

Coming back from a couple of weeks away in the sun it was good to be greeted with some nice weather to settle back into the UK with.


Relax ...........


 A spot of fishing of Thursday proved to be the right thing to do but not quite the same as on holiday but what is life with out variety.


Hot and sunny


Cold and sunny

A good forecast for Saturday proved pretty much spot on and with no hangies popping up for hill conversions we based our day on St Agnes with a move to wherever as the wind backed.

Early birds catch the worm and at 8.30 we were launching on Paragliders from a deserted St Agnes in to perfect conditions for some super flying.  10.15 and Tracy H (Lanner) arrived for a tandem flight and with conditions still good we wasted no time in getting her set up.  Peachy now joined in the fun but still an empty carpark, not even a modeller.  The four of us had a cracking time playing in the light sea thermals with Tracy loving every second of it as we caught up on life and the beauty of Cornwall and how pleased she is to have moved here.  With tracy gaining a little more knowledge she quickly took the controls and gave me a rest as she flew the glider along the cliffs.



A super flight was followed by a super landing and much smiling and chat as we chilled over coffee and munchies.  Finally another vehicle appeared and we were joined by some modellers to enjoy the air together on our next flight.


very happy birthday Tracy ;))


It all became a bit of a blur .....

 Sure enough just gone 12  the wind began to drop and back so with a need to warm up it was off to St Agnes Bakery for more coffee and sausage rolls. A bit of Christmas shopping then with the trees just starting to stir again we looked in on Chapel Porth arriving just in time to see Steve M inflating and taking off, ideal :)

 As the breeze filled the lift got really nice seeing  up to 1000' +  in the light thermals.  Cold finally got the better of all but it was well worth it what a cracking day and a great way to make you really appreciate where you live and who you live life with.
