Bouncy up top

Terry P ready for the "off"

Terry's first go on the Vision 5

Keeping it low to keep out of the turbulence

Sam A gets ready on the Mars

It was a tricky call as to go to the hill or to the field, we picked the field. With a moderate breeze and a ENE breeze flicking NE we expected a bit of rotor from the cliffs at hieght. Tony B got to grips with ground handling on the Paraglider and did a fine job of it looking better and better as the day went on.

I took Terry's hanger for a couple of test flights and found out just how bouncy it was at about 120' upwards, a mixture of turbulence from the cliffs and wave that was around. Still glider was fine and it was much smoother down low.

Sam A got nicely sorted on the Condor hang Glider flying sweetly across the field and dealing with the turns well before moving onto the Mars which he found a little more challenging.

Terry put in several low level flights on his glider to keep him out of the rough stuff and seemed pleased enough having done a good job.

At the end of the day with the wind having veered to the SE we tried the Paraglider but it was still a bit top endy so we quit whilst we were ahead.

Not a bad day just not quite as useful as we hoped, but then we always hope for a lot!
