It was one of the warmest days in the field for the year which was accompanied for a while by some very thermally clouds and plenty of seagulls using them. However whilst nice to see it did make for a very variable breeze until it settled down after lunch.

With 2 Hangers and 3 Paras on we had plenty to occupy ourselves and keep busy.

Terry p was back on a hanger and moved nicely onto the Mars putting away 8 flights and sorting his turns and airspeed out. landings are still variable but at least the approaches are good now its just a matter of timing, ever heard that before??

Mike G (London)was back after a 12 month lay off having passed his CPC tow whilst last down in a week a year ago. he quickly got back into it after a couple of low refresher flights and was then off for some high flights before converting to the calypso which he loved. Hopefully we may see some wind before he heads home so get him to the hill, if not he will pack in plenty of flying in the field I am sure.

Tony L (America) came along for a Taster Day on the Paraglider and worked really well through the day steadily analysing every aspect! With the fickle wind early on he had to put in plenty of effort for the ground work but at 65 years old he did a fine job. Tony rounded off the day with 3 cracking flight across the field which included a great landing to a round of applause. he thoroughly enjoyed the day as did his partner Phyllis who kept her eye on him.

Pete G (Falmouth) back for day 3 of his EPC made huge progress sorting out his landings again to a round of applause and moving onto release flights and turns so setting him up nicely for completing his EPC next time out then heading into his CPC.

Cy' B (St Mawes) was also out on day 3 of her EPC and had a cracker moving easily through her increasing turns before rounding off the day with her first high flights and circuit. A huge smile said it all, looks like she will be back to carry on so watch this space.

Bill N was along helping out on the bike having visited Carbis early on but just missing the slot that saw Paul h taking some exercise.......... thanks Bill
