Making the most of it

Mike P watches as Mark F sneaks in for a spot landing

"Words of Wisdom" ?

Paul R heads off across the filed on his Taster day

Mick L completes his hill conversion sharing the air with Kaz

It was a very pleasant day in the tow filed with a mixture of hangers and Para's going on. Paul R (Plymouth) was along for a Taster day on a Paraglider and had super conditions. He did well with the ground work before moving onto the winch in the afternoon where he excelled himself putting away 4 flights by the close of play. Paul clicked in pretty quickly with keeping the glider "on line" with minimal input from me, a good sign if decides to carry on.

Mark F (Camborne) was on his 5th day with us and had a stonker working through the remainder of his CPC flying tasks including speed bar, active flying, Big ears and asymmetric's amongst others and then had a bit of thermal to play with to boot. Another good day should see him ready for the hill, nice one.

Fiona A (Torrington) moved withing spitting distance of her EPC putting away release flights and building up her turns and altitude looking very smooth in her new Woody Valley Velvet 2 Harness. Another day should see her heading to the top of the line.

On the Hanger front Caroline P kept at it and made some progress with smoother flying and better take offs but the landings still need some work.

Mike P put in plenty of flights and got his turns sorted nicely but again needs more work on his landings, maybe not chasing the sheep would help!

Overall a good day with plenty of flying in lovely conditions and great to see Big Nick on the field taking pictures so will hopefully get some up soon. following packing up towing we headed to the hill where Mick L was hoping to finish his hill conversion which he did in fine style putting away 4 super flights and top landings in again good conditions. big smile from Mick so please look out for him on the hills and guide him on his way. Long day but a good one, more of the same tomorrow I hope.
