Graham A finishes off his Hill conversion in fine style
Rebbekah S plays in the air while the guys chat
Coady takes me to the edge like a lamb to the slaughter
The dual flying high under a cracking sky 
Will P enjoying a dual flight as we pose for the cameraWith the rain clearing as forecast it was off to Perranporth again for some hill work. we arrived smack on Que as the wind filled in making it a bit strong for Paragliders but ideal for the Hangers which we were there for.
A quick test flight confirmed it as good and Graham A wasted no time in getting airborne on the Calypso to start day two of his hill conversion. By the time he left just after lunch he had put away three flights and top landings to complete his hill conversion and was looking very pleased with himself.
Rebbekah S was back for some more flying and had a good day putting in three great soaring flights getting height gains to be marvelled at and putting her glider back on top each time. Despite a challenging take off she held her nerve and sorted things out showing what can be done if you don't give up.
Pete Coad was along to refresh his dual rating so after a quick flight with myself he took over as pilot and put in a couple of beauties making me feel almost relaxed! He then took up Kev T and Glen F to complete things so is now once again qualified as a Dual Pilot on hangers. With the Dual out i took up Holly A (Grahams daughter) and Will P (Tony P's son) to give them an idea of why their dads do it which they both seemed to enjoy.
The day was rounded of with a series of Tandem flights in succession when a family holidaying on the site decided it would be a fun thing to do. They all had a great time in conditions as good as they get for Dual flying with some amazing lift to be had.
A long day again with us finally getting away at 21.00 but a fun one with plenty going on not to mention Mark W's arrival and Rick H's valiant efforts to act as a catch line for the Dual.........
PS Where were you D/D ??
