What a Perfect Day

Hanging out to dry as Kev rigs up

Happy Kev

nice

Well very nearly, although we could have done with one or two more to share it with. First thing the wind was still fresh enough but as it was forecast to drop we made best use of the time finishing off some theory before heading out at 11.00. It was bright and sunny in the field ideal for drying out the kit that had got a bit damp yesterday, so whilst Kev S (Yeovil) rigged the mars I hung things out to dry.

By midday things were perfect for towing so Kev cracked on with his Hang Gliding EPC starting with release flights and moving steadily through shallow turns into tighter ones. By early afternoon he had finished off his EPC tasks and completed his exam and we still had hours left to play with.

Meanwhile Adi C (Illogan) on the Paraglider joined in the fun and after a quick re cap flight was off to the top of the line for his first high flight and circuit which resulted in a loud yell of delight and even bigger smile than usual. Not to be out done Kev started his CPC tasks and followed suit on the hanger doing a fine job of it and looking just as pleased.

The guys worked hard through the rest of the afternoon putting in the flights working through various tasks and settling into circuits . Simon F (Camborne) also joined in on his Hanger to get him back into flying and had a fun time playing with some early thermals as a nice cloud street set up from the field. Adi rounded off his day with a super flight as we talked him into a thermal and circled him up and out of the filed before having to talk him out of it to fly back, yes even bigger smile again and even louder yell!

With everything nice and dry we wrapped a classic day which saw both Adi and Kev well into their CPC's putting in 10 and 15 flights respectively whilst Simon sneaked in 9.
