What a super day. we did not "hit" the field until midday as we waited for the wind to ease back but when we did our timing was spot on and things went like clockwork.

Whilst the guys rigged Coady set the winch and we were up and running before 13.00 with Michel K (Falmouth) leading the way. In classic conditions the tows were smooth yet the air lifty making for some super training. Adrain A (Gloucester) joined in alongside Michel on another hanger and Shad C (Surrey) was down having qualified with us last year for some experience flying on another hanger.

On the paragliding front Chris B (Plymouth) came along after a long break and quickly got back into the swing rattling off his EPC tasks and finishing the day with 2 super high flights to give him a huge smile and a very worthwhile day.

Steve Dredge also took the opportunity to get a few tows in after not towing since he qualified a couple of years ago and soon found his feet getting set for thoswe thermic days!

Michel also did well finishing off his CPC tasks including slow flight appreciation and stalls before converting onto the calypso so becoming Tow qualified in 6 days training and over just 3 weeks. Another few days of experience tows and he will off to the hills so watch out!

Adrian found the going a little harder after another longish break in his training but despite some interesting flight paths proved he can turn a hang Glider when he needs to!

Shad showed a little rustiness but soon settled in popping in the high flights and looking good by the end of play.

Nice to see Adi C drop by on his way home from work to check out what was going on, sorry you missed it Adi but hopefully the weekend will make up for it...
