Up Up and away

Rear view of Rod as he puts his weight onto his back foot

Kaz got hold of the camera as Dan hang checks

Saied with his thong attachment

Ok back to the serious stuff Mike P flies by

Dan L heads off to his first release flight

Well not quite but it could have been with the amount of thermals around.
It was a cracking morning with no less than four "hangers2 out and only one para' and even then he was actually on for paramotoring! With the wind from the east we were pulling through the gate giving us a much longer tow and resulting in much higher ones.
Mike G (London) finished off his stay with some stunning flying trying out a "new" wing and harness as well as putting in some thermalling right over the start gate much to our envy. a great way to his "come back" to flying just a shame we could not get him to the hill but when we do all the hard work is well behind us.
Saied (Bracknell) spent the day sorting out his prone flying and moving onto the chest release and trying out slow flying appreciation. He had some nice tows but needs more work yet and really needs to relax annd let his flying flow, maybe tomorrow.
Mike P (Bath) had a super day looking very pleased with himself as he got to grips with the Large Fun 2 which he liked. He soon had the chest release sorted and was putting away the prone flights whilst getting used to the wing, good day Mike.
Dan L (Truro) was back to get seriously going on his EPC and had a busy day putting away the low level non release flights before getting going on the 50' release ones. His take offs and flying are great but landings do require legs to be under us, still he did have some good ones and i am sure he will get plenty more soon.
Rod G (Falmouth) got his first high flights in on the Paraglider and had a cracking first one releasing straight into a thermal and with a little encouragement circling the field before be talked out of it to come back down. By the end of play he had put away 4 in total so is now ready to start the Paramotor stuff...............
Mark B (Newquay) came along for a Tandem flight and had a fun time on the longer tow with superb views to be had on what looked like a summers day. Shame he was a little early for the thermals but still a great experience.
Geoff H (Honiton) was back out on his Paramotor having another glorious day flying all over west Cornwall and getting a sun tan!

Looks like last day of play tomorrow before the weather drops off and we head out to Spain for a couple of weeks,hope it's a good one.
