It was good to get back to the field after a fun spell on the hill. It was a nicely relaxed day with Adi C (Illogan) on his second day and Ross M (St Ives) on a Taster day representing the Paragliders whilst Trevour H (Paignton) putting in experience tows on his new wing and Simon F (Camborne) getting back into it and flying his new wing held up the Hangers end.
Whilst Adi practiced ground handling and did a very good job of it Ross went through the basics of Paragliding and getting to hand tows by lunchtime. The hangy boys turned up later and were rigged and ready for the afternoon session.
After a couple of test flights we put Trev' up the line on his hanger which he soon got to grips with and by the end of the day was looking as smooth as they come putting him just where he needs to be for his hill conversion. Simon soon joined in the fun and after a couple of low flights was off to the top of the line to have a good afternoon refreshing his skills and getting better with every flight.
The Para's joined in as the wind eased a little and Ross had a great taster day doing very well on the tow flying up to 60' high across the field and even getting the landings cracked and finally the turn and deflation as well.
Adi worked hard and moved from low flights through release flights and into gentle turns from 100' so putting him well into his EPC tasks and only stopping because we had to go home!
A nice relaxed day made all the easier with Tim the winch and Bill the Bike making things as smooth as silk, thanks guys.
