Now that's progress

Dean on his way to the top

Ray gets his first taste of towing... easier than the hill

Dean sets up for landing after a high flight

Conditions were about as good as they get for training in the tow field with a light N/E breeze and an overcast sky giving suer smooth but buoyant conditions. Dean F from Falmouth was out for day 2 of his EPC course having signed up following a Taster Day along with Ray D from Ivybridge starting his EPC having given up on hill training "up country".
Dean was quickly in the air for his first flights on a Paraglider and made steady progress through the day putting in a total of 22 flights by close of play at 18.45 taken him through his EPC tasks and giving him 4 high flights and circuits so staring him into his CPC.
Ray had a good day reacquainting himself with Paragliders, practicing his ground work, being introduced to towing before getting on the line himself. Despite leaving early Ray put in 9 launches and by the end of the day was getting to grips with it resulting in some nice flights across the field.
Bill N and Kaz were also out getting some flying in and riding the bike to make life easy for Coady on the winch. All in all a nice day showing again the benefits of tow training and small student numbers. It's the way to learn....
