Fun all round, nice one girls, have fun

An early start saw us rigged and ready with the lines tested before 10.00am when a Hen Party of five from St Ives arrived for Tandem flights. The bride to be Gail had no idea what had been arranged for her and came complete with fairy frock. It was a great fun morning the girls really making the most of it with a mixture of screams and laughter echoing around the field. As the morning progressed and the day warmed up things got a bit thermic and the latter flights included some nice thermalling to extend the flights as well as giving some good height for the wing overs. By mid day they were all sorted and left for Plymouth in high spirits with the bride to be declaring her companions as "the best friends in the world" for arranging it, good luck Plymouth!!

Dave L was back for some flying on the tow line and had a cracking afternoon despite a couple of wind shifts putting in a total of 17 flights taking him within a day of his CPC rating having completed all the flying tasks bar Asymmetrics, nice one.

Mike D put in some useful ground handling in readiness for his conversion onto the Paramotor which is the way he now wants to go hopefully starting tomorrow.

Thanks to Bill N for his help in checking the leg straps and riding the bike, Oh yes, and it was lovely and sunny, who mentioned a horse??
