Sunsets on the righteous

Dean F gets his first taste of Perranporth

Lone Paraglider (Dean) and even lonlier instructor

It looked good from the ground, guess it was even better from the air

All good things have to come to an end, dusk is 1/2 hour after sunset honest



Well, possibly,possibly not! The rain cleared and the wind veered easing back as it did so giving the chance of a flyable slot in the evening. Arriving at perranporth the wind was still well off to the south but over a period of 20 minutes it came smack on making excellent soaring conditions. After a couple of demo' flights Dean F was ready for his second go at hill flying in two days on two sites. He was rewarded with a super flight in smooth conditions with loads of lift giving plenty of time to settle down and even enjoy the stunning sunset before coming in for his first top landing, ok still a little work to be done on these.

There may even be a slot tomorrow morning so he could get three on the trot if up early enough, that would see him complete his hill endorsement, how cool that would be, watch this space.

Graham,
What can I say other than thanks, I think the photo’s say it all.
Thanks also to Kaz for leaping on my canopy after my somewhat unconventional take off and landing!!! As much as I hated all the PLF’s that you made me do in the tow field, they came in handy on this occasion!!! Still my harness now looks like a veteran of many flights as apposed to all shiny and new!!!
Thanks again,
Dean
