Testing day

It was bright and sunny in the filed all day with a moderate southerly breeze. Steve M (Tresillian) and Paul B (Bristol) were along for a go at Paragliding and Hang Gliding respectively. Whilst Steve got on with the ground handling on the para Steve got to grips with Hang Gliding ground work. By just after lunch they were both ready for a go on the winch. Steve D (Bodmin) put in a nice high flight before the others got on the winch. Next it was Steve M's go and despite his best efforts at pulling the brakes the Ozone Element managed to keep itself in the air giving him his first taste of Paragliding flight. Then it was on the line for Paul who started off well with a nice "moon walk" flight before getting his feet off the ground on a low level flight. On his final flight a lack of airspeed resulted in a lack of roll control added with a bit of a twist ended up in a un dignified landing putting the Condor out of action so stopping play.

Tell put in another 3 flights on his Powered hang Glider Doodle bug combination and the two Steve's rounded off the day with some more ground handling as the wind picked up a little towards evening.
