Tow training Tuesday

The forecast held good so it was off to the field with Peter F (N.Devon) and James R (S.Devon) both on day three of their courses having started last week, they were joined by Glen C (Newquay) who was along for a taste of Paragliding.

Whilst Kaz sweetened Peter and James's ground handling followed by their EPC theory I cracked on with introducing Glen to the canopy and basics.  By lunchtime things were looking good with Peter and James having passed their exams and Glen ready to tow.

Peter makes a lovely take off ....


... and landing

In near perfect conditions we got going and it was not long before P & J had completed their EPC tasks and were into high flights.  Whilst James carried on into his CPC Paragliding tasks with weight shift and normally used flying speeds Peter branched off into his Paramotoring course with plenty of ground handling.  Glen meanwhile got his first tows underway and by the end of play had also popped in his first release flight to round off a super day.


Glen gets his thoughts together


and is soon away on his first flight

Peter got a power unit on his back and did a fine job of ground handling with it so hopefully we shall see him in the air with it next time out.

A nice day all round and with smaller numbers in the field not only more relaxed but everyone gets a lot more done ;)

Quote of the day " thats is so much fun "  and we hadn't even gone flying yet !
