Our Blog is an up to date record of what we have been up to both in the school and out of it. We endeavour to update it as regularly as possible and include a sample the days pictures when available.

You can scroll back through the
Blog and follow various students progress through their training and get a good idea of how the school operates.

You will also find records of our trips abroad which will give you a good idea of what to expect should you wish to come on one with us.

Hands up, legs down

Rodney G gets away on his first flight

Mark F looking sweet on his third

Mike S coming in for landing after a Tandem flight

Chris H rounding of his Taster Day with a Tandem

A super day in the field under a cracking sky, not saying it was thermic but we had "dust devils" popping off around midday.

Rod G (Falmouth) and Mark F (Camborne) were back for their second days and were joined by Chris H (Hampshire) who was along for a Taster day on the Paraglider. The guys played ground handling through the morning whilst the wind played tricks moving around the field from NW to SW and back again as a line of convergence set up over us, should have popped up into it but someone has to work. By lunch time everyone was pretty much sorted but conditions were bouncy or the novice pilot so after a couple of test the air flights we gave the lines to Coady to play with whilst the students played.

Mid afternoon saw a little high cloud calm things down and the guys got going all having some cracking flights and all having some stand up landings, only one case of "jumping into the air" and only one case of me having to politely announce "brakes up" so not to bad.

Chris h came up for a Tandem as did Mike S (St Austell) and both enjoyed some super flights in what was still very buoyant air. Nice day and with the weather set for a few more things are looking good. Piccies will follow
