A Bundle of Fun in the Sun

Lovely sky as the Tandem does its thing
Up in the great blue yonder

Its a Family affair, great bunch, great fun

Sam K does his impression of the Angel of the North

Easy Rider

What a wonderful day, almost like summer in the tow filed. We were blessed by a light sea breeze for most of the day and then the luxury of a little convergence near the end of the day giving excellent conditions.

Hywel PR (Pembrokshire) made good progress on the Hang Glider moving off the Condor and onto the Mars as he towed to higher altitude over his 10 flights giving time to build his turns and by the end of play they were nicely upto 90 so setting him up nicely for high flights after another couple.

Sam K was back on the Paraglider and had a fabulous dayas he moved well into his CPC rattling off Weight shift, speed bar, 180 turns over his 11 flights and having the added bonus of some super thermalling under the convergence to give him a couple of "long" flights.

Lunch time saw the arrival of a family group 5 of whom were up for Tandem flights and what a fun group they were. Having come all the way from India (well via London and StIves) they were making the most of Cornwall and what it has to offer. They all had great flights some more noisily than others and all appreciated the stunning views along the coast and across to Penzance. Great fun to have along and a pleasure to meet.

Congratulations must go to Pete C (yes winch man Pete) who sneaked past the tow field at cloudbase under the convergence having taken off at Rosewall and landed at Redruth, nice one.
