Chris comes back down after playing with the thermals

Carolyn after her first high flight

the sky clears at the end of the day

After the wind of yesterday what a contrast with a light NW breeze in the tow field giving perfect towing conditions along with some nice thermals giving plenty of lift as well.

We had a mixed bag of hangers and para's making it an interesting day and plenty going on. Whilst the Paras got themselves sorted and did a bit of groundwork the hangers got rigged and going.

Chris W (Bristol) was along for a recap and to practice his landings having learnt to fly over 5 years ago but having not put a lot of time in. Chris had a good day getting his confidence back and also converting to a chest release on the tow. His flying got smoother his landings better and he even had time to enjoy the views, whats more turns out he lives just down the road from Martin H who was down yesterday, small world.

Adrian A got high again on the hangy and began his base bar conversion after practicing them yesterday on tethers. His flying was fine but his enthusiasm resulted in his first XC as he wandered from the filed so landing "out". Kaz and Carolyn were soon on their way to fetch him back.

Carolyn ( once the glider was returned) cracked on with her EPC tasks and did a great job of them again with yesterdays tethering paying off and by mid afternoon was sorted. She finished her day off with a couple of high flights putting the icing on the cake along with an even bigger smile:) congratulations Carolyn.

On the Paragliding front Paul S (Wiltshire) was back after his taster day for some more and had a full on day putting in the tows and working higher up the line and building turns. Not sure which was louder his "cries" at launch or yelps of glee at landing......

Chris B (Plymouth) came along and polished off his CPC tasks with some Big Ears and Asymmetrics before taking his exam and becoming qualified on the tow. Having got sorted he used the rest of the day to play and had some cracking flights and thermals looking every part a pilot as he circled up.

With a relatively early close i managed to get some nice tows in on the Delta and boy does it tow well, a very nice package .

Meanwhile Pete C had been out on his new Rush 3 firstly at St Agnes then up Carn Brea where he had launched into a nice thermal and put in a cracking XC to Cadgwith with heights of 4,500 ' on the way. His view of the Rush 3 "10 out of 10" well done Ozone, book your test flight now.....
