With the morning spent fixing Ben F's Booster it was lunchtime before we set off for the fields which as it turned out was about right as the wind eased back and the clouds bubbled up. the Hangies made the best of the early part of the day with Gay J getting back into towing with an eye on power taking the first flights. Nigel S and Ben F also took some lines before the Paragliders got going. Paul h did some demo flights on his mosquito power unit showing perfect take offs followed by interesting landing approaches. Dean had a cracking first flight on his new Ozone Buzz Z landing with a huge smile after yet another of his now seemingly commonplace thermalling flights , for an unbiased opinion of the wing ask him. Bill N had some nice tows showing his family what he can do and was joined by Kaz P and Graham K on the Paragliding front. I managed to get the Tandem out and had some nice flights with Deans daughter Amber who took everything in her stride and with Bills relation A? ending with a super one as the last tow of the day.
Ben got going on his Booster unit and was looking very compatent by the close of play (at 20.15) with a super fifth and final flight taking him to several thousand feet so giving stunning views across the county as the sun dropped. Again a long day with plenty going on to keep us amused. Sorry no photo's too busy to take any, maybe someone else has some.

Graham,
Thanks again for an excellent day in the sky. Amber also says thanks for the tandem flights, I think that you have someone else hooked on floating around the Cornish skies and she’s just waiting until she is old enough to do the course. She will be showing her Dad how to fly in 18 months!
Again, thanks to Coady for being ever present on the winch, the excellent tows and putting up with me on the way up. Also, thanks to Kaz, Bill and everyone else for running lines and just being so friendly.
Thanks also Graham for your advice and steering me towards the Buzz Z, what can I say, the canopy flies beautifully and it tells you everything you need to know whether it’s on the ground or up in the air. You know my passed exploits and nothing compares to being up under that canopy, absolutely amazing. If there is anyone you want to have a go on the canopy to see how she flies, they are more than welcome to have a go when ever they want.
Thanks everyone,
Dean, Jan, Amber and Ty
