and quickly gets to grips with it

getting higher

and further

As promised by the forecast the rain cleared away late morning and the wind veered to the NNW although remaining strong. We decided to head to the tow field to get Mike G who had travelled down from London started on his Hang Gliding training. Mike having spent a disturbed night in his tent in what must have been one of the worst nights for ages was well up for it. We had a relaxed afternoon working through the basics and the ground runs before we got him on the end of the hand tows. Dean F dropped by to give some manpower whilst Paul and gay dropped in to hopefully check out gays new Paraglider (Buzz Z). By late afternoon the wind had dropped enough for Gay to try some ground handling and didn't she do well finding the Buzz Z lighter and more responsive than the school wings.

With conditions looking good we decided to give Mike a go on the winch and didn't he do well! Looking super relaxed he moved through "moon walking" into low flights and finishing off with a nice 40-60' flight untethered to add a huge bonus to a day that looked unpromising to say the least. Super sunset too. Thanks guys.
