The day started off not looking to promising with a bit of a breeze and a bit dull. Still we headed to the field in the hope that things would improve and with one of our Taster days having travelled down from Taunton we were keen to give it a go.
Craig L (Taunton and Matt B (Truro) both on Paragliding Taster Days quickly got into it and both did amazingly well with the ground handling in what were "challenging" conditions to start with. Big Mac (Dobwalls) was back for the second day of his Taster session and looked very competent as he "flew" his Paraglider across the filed.
By lunch time things were looking much better with the sun shining and the wind easing back and smoothing out. A quick test flight proved conditions good so we got the winch going without delay. Craig l came up for a Tandem flight as part of his day and made the most of the views before experiencing the feeling of weightlessness on his second flight as we put the Magnum through her paces. Then it was the guys turn with Big mac leading the way.
By the end of the day Craig and Matt were both flying nicely across the filed at 60' and landing sweetly on their feet putting in 3 flights each. Big Mac had cracked releasing and moved onto 100' flights with turns down to land not bad for a two day taster, he really should go the whole hog and take it up.
Fiona A spent the day enjoying her flights having completed her tasks yesterday and had a fabulous day which included passing her CPC exam so making her qualified, congratulations.
John (Liskeard) came by for a Tandem flight and had a great time enjoying the experience and the views giving him a taste for more, who knows......
Sorry Mac didn't manage to get any piccies of you, maybe next time
Quote of the day " that was the best weekend ever" ....... now that can't be bad
