Rob P gets in the air on his taster day and does a fine job
Nathan L relaxed on his flights at the end of his taster day
Helen K looking good at take off on her first flight on a paraglider
Gliders and "gaggle" of pilots
Wierd wave clouds to the southAfter a few days on the hill it was back to the field where we had a mixture of Taster days and Trainees, once again the the Hangers outnumbered the Para's.
Nathan L (St Austell) and Helen K (Hayle) were along for Taster Days on the Paragliders whilst Rob P (Minehead) made the trip down for a go at Hang Gliding. The guys all did well through the morning session and by after lunch we were ready to roll.
Graham A put away four flights on the Hang Glider to add to his tally and is getting the feel of it but has a little way to go, too much kiting and Paragliding maybe?
Once again there was a lot of wave couds around even more than I have seen before and conditions were a bit odd to start with no doubt related to it.
Mick Ford also on the Hang glider had a useful afternoon sorting out his 180 turns and spot landings being as happy as ever.
Then it was down to the Taster Days. Rob got them going and did well on the tow line moving form "moon walking" through to 10 -20 feet on the Hang Glider rounding off his day with a superb flight and perfect landing to give him the true feel of what it's about.
Nathan led the Paragliders off and put away three excellent flights each one getting higher until he was comfortably approaching the 60' mark and looked well pleased with his day.
Helen took it all in her stride making it look easy also putting in three good flights with the last landing looking like she had done it lots before and even starting to crack the nodding dog bit.
Jane (Pete C's sister came up for a couple of Tandems on the Paraglider and had a fun time, have to say Pete's towing on those flights was as good as I have ever known, can't think why.
Good to be back in the field and you never know we may have found another couple of students as a result we shall see. Piccies when get a minute
