Ashley L looking almost relaxed as he gets set to go
Tom does some paperwork whilst the others get clipped in
Paul C at one with the Mars....Another good day for the hang gliders in the tow field and an "easy" day for me with everyone on best behavior.
Ashley L (Swansea) cracked on through his EPC tasks and putting away another 13 flights saw him to the end of it towing nicely up to 150' releasing then putting in good co ordinated turns back to tippy toe landings. His confidence has soared over the 3 days he has been with us and we look forward to his return to carry on into his CPC.
Tom A (Truro) had another cracking day finishing off his CPC flying tasks with some nice slow flight appreciation and stalls along with 180 turns and yet more spot landings. He just needs to build up some experience tows and then it's off to the hills.
Paul C (Plymouth) was back and quickly got back into the swing of things with some high flights before moving onto base bar conversions.
Unfortunately the cloudbase slowly got lower and lower through the day and by mid afternoon we stopped high flights as the gliders started to disappear into the cloud! Then it got lower so putting an end to Ashley's fun as even 150' was enough to get into it and finally whilst starting Tom off on low level chest release practice (60') we began to even lose sight of the winch we called it a day.
Still another good one for the Hangies.
