Forecast was for a light SW in the field but on arrival it was definitely from the North so we set up accordingly. Andy J (Oregon USA) had driven down from London for a Taster Day on the Hang Glider and spent the morning getting the basics sorted. After lunch he was joined by Steve J now on his CPC Hang Gliding and Pilot X also on a Hang Glider. They all did well well putting away the flights with Andy moving swiftly through "moon walking" to 20' flights and even getting off the tethers. Steve and Pilot X cracked the Mars and were both looking set for high flights on it when after one from Steve the wind flicked to the SW as the convergence moved overhead,
Just at this point Pete C returned and was first up the line after we moved the winch, he was rewarded with a cracking flight getting up to 1500' before reaching the coast then flying around the field for 15 minutes or more and landing back at launch. Bill N gave it a crack on his Buzz Z the first time he had towed it and managed to pop a weak link at the top of the tow as a thermal sucked him off the end of the line.

It remained a bit bouncy for the students for an hour or so then eased back allowing Steve to put in another good high flights and Andy to round off his day with a final one across the field. We packed up under a super sky with a cloud street right over the launch and birds circling , must bring the BBQ next time.

Just to finish Andy off we then took him for an hours surfing, think he's worn out now .....
