.....and still they come

Andy F gets "stimulated"
Andy gets going with plenty of attention

Looking good and the concentration shows

A "quiet" day in the field where it was a little breezier than forecast but still turned out a good one. Andy F was down from Bristol (on his birthday) for the start of a 2 day Taster session on the Hang Glider. The morning saw him work his way through glider rigging, introduction and basic ground handling before getting to grips with the machine itself. Despite challenging conditions he did a great job and was soon ready for the winch.
By the end of the day he had put in a good number of flights across the filed doing a fine job staying relaxed enough yet on the ball enough to keep the glider flying well before putting in some good stand up landings. With the wind picking up we quit whilst ahead after a bit more ground work playing with base bar conversions.
Pilot X was also along hoping to get in their first high flights but unfortunately conditions did not play ball. looks breezy tomorrow to so think Andy will get a taste of the hill.
