Julian sets off for a 15 minute flight in fine style
Justin playing with the cloudsWow what a cracking day it was and that was not only the weather. An early start saw us on the hill at Perranporth by 08.00 as the breeze was just picking up a bit making it nicely soarable. Paul h and Kaz were already in the air by the time Mark F (Camborne) was ready to go for what would hopefully be his final hill qualification flight. The wind filled a little more and he was off into nice lift to enjoy a lovely flight followed by a cracking top landing.
next it was Fiona A's (Torrington) turn and she had a super flight looking very smooth and co ordinated all followed up with another good landing on top. A more pilots began to arrive they both put in another 3 flights each all with top landings to prove the point and gain their hill ratings to add to their Tow CPC's well done guys. Rumour has it that Fiona put in another couple of good flights after we left for the tow field at 10.30 , nice one.
In the field it was superb conditions for the Paramotor with Justin and Julian H (Ivybridge) along hoping complete their CPC flying tasks. They both had a cracking afternoon putting away 6 flights each and racking up well over an hours airtime apiece. The sky had a few nice cumulus clouds for them to play with and the wind dropped away by evening so giving them a good range of conditions to experience. By close of play they were sorted having learnt a few more tricks and potential pit falls. The guys have done really well achieving this over 5 days spread out over the last month or so and are now in a position to fly on their own as restricted licence holders.
A long day but great to see such progress by all concerned. will try and find some piccies soon
