malcolm gets the hang of it looking good on his third ever flight
Fiona in the classic "position" on the line
Cynthia gets us all "excited"Having shifted everyone forward a day as the forecast for Sunday was not too good we arrived in a sunny field with the cumulus already building.
Steve E (Saltash) was along for a Taster Day on the Hang Glider whilst Fiona A (Torrington), Cynthia C (Porthleven) and Malcolm C (Porthleven) were all along for a go on the Paragliders. It was a busy morning getting the guys up to speed but by a late lunchtime we were there.
Conditions were now fairly bouncy up to on the Hang Glider and too much for Paragliders so the students waited patiently whilst i made regular "test" flights up into the thermals to asses things. By mid afternoon it was OK for Steve on the Hang Glider down low so he put away his first tows and did a fine job of it too.
With things still popping off it wasn't until well gone 18.00 that we got the Paragliders going. They all had a fun time with Fiona and Malcolm putting in three excellent flights each across the filed at heights up to 60'. Cynthia, now known as "challenging Cynthia" kept me on my toes and came to an arrangement where we traded her final solo flights for a Tandem which she thoroughly enjoyed to round off a great day.
There were some cracking quotes but probably the most printable was " you can grab as much as you like"..................
