Taking the slot

Preparing for a demo' on the hanger

Bill N watches as Kaz shows how to do it

The SAS were along for some training!

Kaz excitedly relays her flight

The "rigging" area, the sun and the ambiance

As forecast mid afternoon saw a nice flyable slot open up at Carbis Bay as those of you who follow us on twitter will no doubt have realised. It was always on the top end for Paragliders but ideal for hangers so Kaz took the opportunity to fly her Wills Wing Eagle 145 , her first time on a hangy at Carbis . After an exciting take off which she dealt with well she had a cracking 20 minutes in ideal conditions a mixture of ridge lift and sea thermal seeing her well high.

Bill N managed to get away on his Paraglider although Kaz treated him pretty much as a roundabout! A solid top landing finished off her flight and as the wind eased a fraction Dean F, Rick W, Sam A, Mike A and Kev T all managed to fly Paragliders.

Kaz kindly let me loose on her glider which convinces me more and more that low end and sport gliders are the way forward for the majority of pilots, just so much fun and so little hassle.

A great afternoon and whilst the Paragliders had fun it was definitely a day for the hangers. Will sneak some piccies in soon (thanks Rick)
