Tony gets a go

With a good forecast it was off to Perranporth where it was a glorious day. Bill n was first off on his new Buzz Z and looked very smooth despite the light conditions, nice colours Bill. After a quick test fly on Tony T's Falcon Green Meany it was his go..... Unfortunately the breeze was on the drop and with a poor first beat it was an extended flight to the beach, still no worries it gave me a chance to fly his glider back up and what fun it is!
The Sky filled with Paragliders and it got a little busy for a time but i managed to find a slot to pop the Falcon in on top where we waited for the breeze to pick up. Bit by bit it did and soon Tony was ready for the off. This time no problems and he was soon soaring up and down the cliffs getting smoother with each beat. 20 minutes later he made his first top landing approach but was just a little high so performed a nice flyby. the next one was on the nail and he landed sweetly with a big grin, well done Tony.
Derek G (Austrailia) came up with me for a couple of fun flights on the Tandem Paraglider and we had fun playing with the gentle thermals and chasing the birds (feathered ones)
A cracking day with plenty out enjoying the sunshine.
