Busy day in the sunshine

With a good workload on we arrived at the field to find perfect conditions. Neil t and mark L got on with rigging the Hang Glider for their Taster day whilst Nick G got introduced to the Paraglider for the Start of his 2 Day Taster session. Pretty soon all were getting on with the ground work and having fun. Just after lunch the "Tandems" arrived with the group swelling to 5 so making a busy period. Paul K was first up followed by Sarah , Mark R, Garrick and Steph' who deserves a special mention as she overcame some real fears to do the flights. All had a top time enjoying the view and the ride down, think we may see some of them again.
Then it was back to it getting the Taster Days boys on the winch who were now joined by Will G who following an earlier Taster Day had decided to go the whole hog and Learn. Neil and Mark worked hard on the Hanger with it has to be said varying degrees of success, but by the end of the day they both had me running as fast as I could to keep up as they flew across the field.
Nick found the Paragliding a little easier and had three cracking flights setting him up well for his second day. Will G moved on nicely into his EPC tasks with his first release flights and gentle turns.
A long day but smiley faces all round and it's always nice to introduce people to the feeling of flight.
