"Like the Germans"

Paul gets up there on his second day of soaring in succesion

Not to be out done Shaun joins in on the act (the higher one)

Shaun looking pretty pleased as Michel practices his Goose stepping

Paul best side (only joking)

Well another strange day at Carbis bay as the high pressure continues. With plenty to do in the office again we waited until there were signs of the wind backing to the NE before we headed to the site. On arrival things were just getting good amazingly for the Paragliders on what had started a breezy day!

Wasting no time Paul W (Truro) put his experience from yesterday to good use and was soon up amongst the other pilots for his third soaring flight. Whilst his flying buddy Shaun watched Paul had a fine time playing in the ridge lift and sea thermals so expanding his knowledge. a good top lading saw him back on terra firma and smiling as usual.

Next off was Shaun who made a super launch and climbed nicely in the ridge lift as the clouds cleared and the sky turned blue. Within a few beats Shaun was looking smooth and relaxed and in tune with his Buzz Z 3. Another good top landing and another huge smile saw the lads having a fine time. They took turns in flying and by the time the wind picked up on to the strong side Paul had put in enough flights for his hill conversion and Shaun just needs one more. Nice to see them progressing together and I guess Paul is a good omen as his new glider (yes another Buzz Z3) only arrived on Monday!

Trev H had been patiently waiting with the hanger for the wind to fill in but by the time it did the beach was disappearing fast making it unwise to send him off for his first hill flight. We reckoned that the Paraglider "twins" had used it all up "just like the Germans" they got there first and took it!

Still Trev and Sam A both had the benefit of seeing some good demo hangy take offs and landings in preparation for their flights.

Another nice day with plenty out and whats more looks like more of the same tomorrow :)
