Andy's best side practicing PLF's
Andy M takes off on one of his Taster day flights
Joe W looking good and in position for his first release flight
Rebbecca S ready to goIt was all go in the tow field under a glorious sky. Andy M was along for a Taster day on a Paraglider which he had as a Christmas present and wasted no time in getting to grips with the ground work before lunch. Joe W kept him company having decided to pursue his EPC course following a Taster day a couple of weeks ago.
The hangers got the day going on the winch with Graham A leading the way putting away four flights in succession to sharpen up his turns before heading to the top of the line for his first high flight on a Hang Glider and a very nice one it was too. Derek J put in several good flights on the Mars and is now looking almost relaxed as he puts her down pretty much by the windsock every time. Rebbecca S kept at it and dealt with the unpredictable conditions well sorting out her landings nicely, her confidence is back and it shows in her flying, ready for the hill again I reckon.
On the Paragliding front Andy M had a top day ending with three super flights across the field getting up to 60' and performing some nice landings to boot. Joe W moved nicely into his EPC putting in release flights and starting gentle turns, again his landings were on the Mark.
Dave L finally got to fly his Mojo three and did really well in the thermic air dealing with the tow up nicely and being rewarded with some nice lifting air on the way down giving him something to think about in order to land by the windsock. Mick L (is back) and put in a couple of tows the last of which saw him thermal up after releasing before we talked him out of it in order to keep him in the field.
Pete C could be seen having a fun time at Godrevy also playing with the thermals so a pretty good day all round, looks like more of same tomorrow.
