Jim's Day Out

Happy Jim at the end of his Taster day

It was an "easy" day in the field with only one taster day on and that was Jim S (Newquay) who was keen to try out Hang Glidng for his 53rd Birthday having already gone sky diving and power flying for his previous ones.


We took the day easy working through the ground based tasks in a relaxed pace and having a good laugh along the way. Conditions were super wind wise although there was always the threat of some dampness. Early afternoon saw gray M turn up to drive the winch and set out the tram lines. By the time we were ready to go the dampness arrived but only a little and pretty soon Jim was on his first flight on the hangy.


He did a fine job and by his third flight was looking good which was just as well as one of his boys, Rob, and his better half had turned up to watch. Rain stopped play for half an hour then with the skies clearing we gave him another couple of tows just to make sure the good one had not just been luck!


In fairness it wasn't and by the end of his day Jim had grasped the basics. Will he be back ? I suspect so.
