Here and there

Well it was early in the morning and there wasn't anyone around
Kaz climbs out from launch at Chapel Porth

The Dual takes off at Freathy in gorgeous conditions

Setting up for landing

Dan, Phippsy and Cat' all pretty happy after some stunning flights

It was an early start to catch the slot before the forecast wind picked up. 08.00 saw us rigged and ready at chapel where the wind was on but very much on the light side. Still it was a beautiful day so we waited patiently until John W turned up along with some breeze and we enjoyed a fun couple of hours playing in the fickle lift. With the wind moving off to the south a bit we headed home for lunch and to check out conditions for the tandems we had planned for the afternoon.

A bite to eat and it was off east to Freathy to meet up with Dan and Cat who were down on holiday in an VW camper and hoped to get in the air on the Hanger. On arrival it was plenty windy enough so after testing conditions with Kaz and flying over the cafe where Dan and Cat were sat we were ready to go. Student Mike r took the opportunity to find out first hand what he is striving towards and had a super flight before as the other two arrived in the filed.

Next it was Cat's turn and with the breeze on the increase we had a cracker with stunning views of Plymouth Sound and Plymouth itself in abundant lift. Plenty of height to play with the air and put in a few 360's, stalls and wobbly bits. Rounded off with a good landing it made a unique part of her birthday present from Dan. Then it was Dan's go and we took off into strong lift going up like an elevator before exploring the ridge and flying with the seagulls. After a while and a few 360's Dan went a little quiet as the motion caught up with him so we smoothed things out. Another lovely landing saw us finish off a full day of flying just as the wind got a bit on the strong side. maybe more tomorrow, who knows

Amazingly we met up with Martin R and not even the sniff of a sausage!
