Hanging high

The Gliders wait patiently whilst the guys sit in their shade to take their exams
Teamwork in action

Stev J flies back on his first high flight and circuit

Derek J makes a nice clean release flight


Happy smiley Steve after his first flight to the top and completion of his EPC in 3 days

This is how life should be, another gorgeous day in the field and perfect teaching conditions. The day was one for the hangies with not a Paraglider in sight,well not until mid afternoon when Pete l turned up with his Paramotor, Graham K dropped by to ground handle his new Rush 2 and Andy T also put in an appearance to fly his Paramotor.
Steve J (Oakhampton) had managed to get the day off work and "flew" through his remaining EPC tasks including the exam before starting on his CPC and putting in a total of 13 flights 4 of which were to the top and back making it a day to remember.
Derek J (Cardiff) moved on well working through release flights and turns, by the end of the day had put away 11 flights, passed his EPC exam and is only a flight or so away from his EPC qualification.
Pilot X had a chilled one (too much sun I think) and restricted them selves to 3 flights but did manage to get the release of the line and gentle turns underway so setting then up for the next session.
Lots of fun was to be had with some yet more unprintable quotes (mainly from BN) not mention the sun bathing, long may it continue.

Nice pictures! Hope I reach my first high flight soon.
I am taking lessons in US, Here are my experiances Flying Like A Bird!.

Hope this will help other aspiring pilots.

Hi Phippsy and crew! Gutted I missed out on flying on Monday, looks like I missed another great day today, on the upside, my chargers arrived and I'll be taking steps to ensure battery failure never grounds me again! Who is this pilot X? Do they make fine Fry-ups by any chance? All the best Luke.H. Bill N, keep smiling!
