Mike G looking very pleased with himself
Mike g having fun with the air to himself
Meercat Manor watches from the safety of the burrow
Kaz gets in on the action whilst it's Mikes turn to watch
Kaz on top of the boys !!We should have known it would be a cracker when Mike G said he would be down for his hill conversion on the Hangy. Sure enough he brought cracking conditions with him just as he has done on both previous occasions that he has made the trip from London to learn to fly.
Conditions at Perranporth were excellent for the hang gliders and after a quick demo Mike was up and away for his first soaring flight. he had a fun 20 minutes at 400' ato before dropping back on top in fine style for his first top landing, big smile bit of a rest then off he went again. By the end of the day he had put in 12 flights all with top landings and racked up over 4 hours airtime!
Kaz joined in the fun on her Hanger with 2 lovely flights both with loads of hieght in the nicely sea thermic conditions and both with first class top landings. Graham A put in several good flights on his Hanger and by the end of play looked like he had got the measure of the top landings nicely.
Even I sneaked in some nice flying on Kaz's glider catching a lovely thermal up to about a grand before heading back to "work".
Unfortunately the Paragliders had to watch proceedingd although Lyn E from "up north" still had a usefull day in preparation for her hill conversion going through the theory and getting used to the enviroment.
Quote of the day " I went deep enough" some may disagree ................
