AJ and Pete pay attention during the tow brief

Dave C looks good as he gates his first taste of towing

Well what an unexpected day and what a fun one. With a good breeze forecast and only one hanger booked in it looked like a quiet day ahead as it was to breezy for the Paragliders. However with Aj and his brother Pete both from Torquay deciding to give Hang Gliding ago instead of Paragliding and then Richard R (Fourlanes) also following suit suddenly it turned into a busy one.

They all joined Dave C (Bristol) who is down to start his flying training with us having already done some elsewhere and deciding to give us a try. The guys all did well and gave Kev t plenty of exercise as we worked through the ground work and into the hand tows. By early afternoon we were ready to roll on the winch and the guys lined up.

Dave's previous experience came through and with each flight he improved as it came back to him and was looking pretty good by the end of play.

AJ and Pete proved to be pretty natural pilots and despite fairly challenging conditions both of them quickly settled in having some cracking flights and excellent landings.

Richard R showed great tenacity as he came to grips with the hanger and rounded off the day nicely for us with a couple of lovely flights across the field again with good landings.

Another hard work day with loads of running on the tethers keeping everyone fit but also giving a lot of fun and big smiles all round.
