Happy families


Early start saw us at Chapel Porth with a truck full of kit to cover every eventuality for tandem flights.  A feel of the breeze and we opted to take the Hangues down, arrive at the front and return for the Paragliders, could be one of those days!

Rig the hangies then go flying on a Paraglider it is one of those days ......... Peachy arrives and so does the first of the Tandems, Liam form StAgnes.  Peachy launches and Liam gets briefed up and clipped into the Tandem Paraglider.  Peachy parks up at a couple of hundred feet and starts to get pinned, Big ears and he comes in for a top landing, Liam gets unclipped as white horses appear on the sea.

 Rebrief and we get the hang Glider sorted and before Liam has time to think we are off and away in to nice lift soon seeing us hundreds of feet up in the air.  Liam just loved it and living so close by soaked up the views which were just a little different to the ones he is used to.  Liam takes control of the glider and does a fine job as we cruise the cliffs.  A few stalls and gentle wing overs round off a lovely flight before we pop back in on top for a soft landing, nice.



Liam gets to fly above where he walks a lot



Liam Back on the ground as the first of five

With the rest of the tandems turning up the wind decided to ease back again and it was back up for a test fly on the Paraglider hmmm still a bit top end for Tandems.  A 30 minute chill out to see which way the wind will go was well worth it and it was Kaz off next to test the air on her Hang Glider to test the air for us.  She climbed up nicely and I got the guys and Gal briefed for a Hangy flight.  Tim F (Saltash) was first to go and conditions were now classic giving a super flight, he was followed by Cam and Mike who also had a ball and all of whom had a go at flying the glider and did good jobs of it too.


guess Mike enjoyed it then


Debbie gets her feet off the ground

  Finally it was Debbies (Mikes wife) turn who had had a very long standing desire to fly on a Hang Glider.  We had a cracking flight and Debbie just loved every minute of it as we swooped and dived in the cracking lift.  The flight was rounded off with another nice landing and it was a very happy band of passengers who headed off for ice creams all round ;)


Happy lady after a life long ambition achieved :)

With the work done we tidied up the kit and I got my T2 C out for a play joining Kaz in the air, always nice to fly together.  Nice to see a good crowd out with Andy R, Sam A, Tim J and Big G all out on hangies and Phil L on his mini wing.  Good to see Big G back on a flex wing and looking happy with it.


Chilling with a blast from the past

A fun day and it was a vary flyable site that we left with no one left to fly it at 17.00.
