A great "corporate" day out for the guysIt really felt like Summer in the tow field with a bright blue sky light breeze and lots going on. We made an early start with Joe G (Brighton) on the hanger to get him ready for the tow line when the others arrived having already done plenty of tethering on the hill. His previous experience paid off and he was soon through the ground running and hand tows and ready to go.
Kaz arrived with a group of paraglider taster days on a corporate day (Architects from Falmouth) and along with Pete C assisted by Bill n sorted them out through the morning whilst we towed the Hangers.
Joe moved quickly off the tethers on the winch and into his EPC tasks having a great day putting away 20 tows which saw him move onto the Mars and within spitting distance of his EPC. has to be said he is a very natural looking pilot.
Alongside Joe Terry P (Exeter) was finishing off his CPC tasks which he did nicely with some good spot landings and his overall flying looking much more together, well done Terry.
Mike P (Bath) was back after a 6 month break and spent the day getting back into the swing of things and also working on his spot landings.
After lunch the Paragliding group were ready for the winch so came to join in the fun. Martin, mark, James, Moon were all there for the first time whilst the Boss Alan had been on a taster day with us two years ago. They all did really well with the guys all putting in 3 flights across the field getting up to 60' in the air and all landing on their feet every time. Alan with his previous went a little further getting up to 100' plus and putting in some good turns to round off an excellent day for them.
It was pretty much full on all day but lots done and lots of fun had lets hope the weather stays.
