The culmination of a cracking Taster Day as Joe flies solo
An artistic shot courtesy of Kev T (as were some of the others)What a fabulous day in the tow field where there was plenty going on. Graham A (Woolacombe way) having learnt to Paraglide with us late last year started his Hang Gliding course along with Derrick J (Cardiff) who is also learning to paraglide. Luke H (Torquay) was along for some Paramotoring and Joe W (Hayle was out for a Taster Day on a Paraglider so more than enough to keep us busy.
Graham and Derrick had fun working through the day and ended up with a good number of flights across the field which by the end of Graham had lost the tethers and was flying free. derrick did a fine job and will hopefully pull ahead tomorrow weather permitting to keep the pressure on.
Luke got his first flights on his Paramotor and put in a total of three over the day which gave him some stunning views and super flights as conditions mellowed towards evening.
Joe W did really well over his Taster Day being one of the youngest at a little over 16, he worked hard and by the end of the day had racked up 5 flights all with good landings and getting up to 60' off the ground, next stop release flights???? Good luck with the exams Joe and enjoy your summer holidays
Pilot X also moved ahead steadily with thier Hang Gliding training putting in some higher flights and is also ready o release the line next time out.
Good to see Nick and Paula drop by and enjoy the sunshine. Lots of red faces by the end of the day, must bring the sun lotion tommorrow .
