With an early start planned and a sunny day forecast we were up at 06.00 only to find it grey and damp. Still we put things on hold and made good use of the time trying to sort out the motorcycle. late morning and things improved so it was off to the field where Matt R from Gloucester way got things going by starting his Hang Gliding Tow endorsement. he was quickly into his stride putting in 5 flights before lunch. Gay J joined him on the winch on a Paraglider working through some more of her CPC tasks leaving just a couple to go before qualifying. Her ground handling efforts payed dividends making her life easy and relaxed. Ray D got his first flight on his new Mojo 2 and also settled in nicely finding it much more responsive than the good old Element training wings, he to is approaching the end of his CPC tasks.
Tell from Wiltshire was along for a Doodle Bug conversion course which we started off with some low power tows to get him the feeling of what was to come and also let us check him out. As the weather closed in again Matt finished off his tow endorsement looking nice and relaxed on the line so is now ready to enter the Suffolk clubs tow comp, well done Matt. Tell made use of the by now damp conditions by getting in some take offs low hops and landings on his Doodle Bug looking like he knew what he was doing by the end and even giving us the confidence to send him up into the blue yonder next time out...maybe tomorrow... watch this space.
