Putting the time in.

With the day canned for training as the front took longer to clear than forecast it was a morning of paperwork and general catching up.  Early afternoon saw a change in the sky and an improvement so we decided on trip to Perranporth to touch base with the holiday camp re next years parking fees and maybe get a flight in also.

Kaz set negotiations in progress and then it was off to the front to see what was on.  Ideal a little off to the north and 24 -26mph.  Out came the T2 C the first time since the final round of the BOS back in early September and it was not long before it was on launch.  It all felt a little alien at first after having flown mainly the Tandem and intermediate wings but it was not long before i settled in.

Keen to get as much airtime in and regain some flying fitness in preparation for the World's in Mexico in March it was a fun afternoon chasing sea thermals, ridge racing and take offs and landings all in bumpy enough conditions.  Landing at 16.10 gave just enough time to dig before dark, when is the shortest day ?

 Still of a bit of a way to go to get back up to speed so if it's good for hanging and you want some company there is a good chance I will up for it :)

Quote of the day " and the first start gate hasn't even opened yet"
