Early bird catches the worm

With the forecast for the wind to pick up during the day we made an early start heading to the hill at Godrevy. Dean F got his first taste of walking up hills having only ever flown on the tow line where life is easy. Arriving at the top conditions were fine so after a demo' flight by yours truly dean was set for his first hill flight. He dealt with the lift at take off well and was soon up and away soaring the front of the hill. We opted for a bottom landing after 10 minutes or so as it was already breezy enough at the very top. After a debrief it was back up for a second go which went pretty much according to plan except the added bonus of some thermal lift took Dean up and up even after flying well away from the ridge. unperturbed he dealt with it well before using Big ears to aid his descent ending in a classic landing and a huge smile and sense of acievement.

Mick L also came along to pick up hai new Ozone Mojo 2 and a had his first taste of it ground handling just as the wind freshened and play stopped. Still we made the most of it and set dean well on his way to his hill qualification.
