With a good forecast we headed to the field in high spirits and on arrival things were good. Setting up in the "bird seed " field we got going pretty quick with Michel K (Falmouth) and Adi C (Illogan) getting onto the line early. They both put in the tows in what became fairly bouncy conditions as the thermals kicked in and the wind picked up.
Michel did well sorting out his basebar conversions and prone flying whilst Adi concentrated on his nodding dog and made his first attempts at speed bar proving just how flexible he really is!
Meanwhile Graham L (Reading) who was along for a Taster day on the Paraglider put in the ground work with Kaz and Bill and discovered the "power" of the Paraglider.
Just after lunch the low cloud rolled in and the wind picked up putting a hold on flying and giving Michel and Adi the chance to do their theory CPC with Kaz before sitting their exams. They both passed and as conditions remained the same we had plenty of time for a good debrief session to boot.
With it still damp and breezy we knocked it on the head early. Malin L who had also come down with his Paramotor came by to check out and pick up some kit making it a useful trip. Lets hope the sunshine returns soon.
