over the hill and far above..

Scenic shot as Tony T climbs out on his first hill soaring flight
Patient Paraglider pilots play "where's Tony T?"

...that's where he is guys, learn to fly one, it could be you

Tippy toe top landing, his first, can't be bad

says it all

Different day different sit. It made a change to be on the hill (Perranporth) where we hoped to get some Paragliders up before the wind filled in. Alas it never happened so the danglers had to put up with watching the hangers for a change. Tony T fresh from his CPC success on the tow had perfect conditions for his first hill soaring flight. A sweet take off was followed by some super smooth soaring on the dear old Mars, yes the very same one, and ended with a tipy toe top landing resulting in a huge grin and round of applause. Can't print his comments here but the word amazing did feature amongst the less publishable ones.

Graham W (Torquay) was also along to hopefully get back into flying after a 16 year lay off, we actually taught him when he was only 16 himself, and did a fine job on the Calypso despite being suitably nervous.

Tony got a second flight in as the wind freshened and got some good height before once again bringing the glider back in "on top" to round off a amazing day for him. Looks like he will head back to Sussex a very happy man with the added bonus of starting his hill conversion on top of the CPC he hoped to get. H's already booking up to start a Paragliding course along with a power conversion so we must be doing something right.....
