It was an "easy" day in the field with excellent conditions and everyone behaving, well nearly.

Mark G (Iloogan) was along for a Taster day on a Paraglider, Andrew M (Bridport Dorset) was on Day one of an EPC Hang Gliding and Mike R (St Germans) was on Day 4 of his Hang Gliding course.

Mark G had a top day moving through the groundwork steadily and making the hand tows look easy. Andrew M did pretty much the same on the Hang Glider and by lunch time they were both sorted and ready for their first flights on the winch. By the end of the day Mark had put away 3 cracking flights improving with each one and ended with a beauty landing perfectly and collapsing the canopy in text book fashion.

Andrew kept going on the Hanger a bit longer and was looking good by the close of play, off the tethers and even managing his first release flight, very good for day one.

Mike R had a "top" day going to the end of the tow for the first time and boosting his confidence tremendously. his overall flying improved noticeably as did his landings! He knocked off several more tasks for his CPC including prone flight and spot landings.

Marie and Geoff L (Gwinnear) dropped by for some Tandems flights on the Paraglider and had a fine time enjoying the whole experience and stayed around to watch the students as well. We may see them again, who knows?
