Leaps and bounds at vault

Gunny joins Kaz after a 5 month lay off

Gay J celebrates getting her hill endorsement

Chris S heads out for his final endorsement flight

Kaz, Chris, Gay and Gunny enjoy flying together

Based on a positive forecast of the wind backing and staying light we headed out to Vault bay at midday. Arriving on site things were not so good so we played with Paul's model and tested the air with Paul H himself on his Paraglider. After a couple of hours things began to change wit the wind moving on and the lift increasing. Gunny was next off and did a good job having not flown for 5 months working the lift before slipping in for a good top landing. Kaz P then had a shot and whilst she was up there things got even better so Gay J and Chris S who were along to hopefully finish off their hill conversions got kitted up. With kaz safely down gay took off and was soon hundreds of feet up enjoying the lift and the view before performing a first class top landing. Chris followed suit and proved things were getting even better before he to slipped it in on top.
Now it was play time with everyone now a qualified hill pilot. Within minutes there was five gliders in the air having a ball. Gay and Chris did well mixing with the others, Paul, Kaz and Gunny. After about 40 minutes Paul led the way into the corner field to land with the others following him in at the end of a cracking afternoon. Well done Gay and Chris, watch out for them on the hills.
