Days don't get much nicer than this with wall to wall sunshine and a perfect teaching sea breeze across the field.

With two taster days paragliders on and three Hangies it was a nicely busy day without being too busy, nice. Paul S (Wiltshire) and Dave M (Falmouth) both got to grips with the basics of Paragliding through the morning whilst Dan L (Truro), Adrian A (Gloucster) and Carolyn B (Lincon) played with the Hangies.

Dan had a good time getting back into flying having not flown for 9 months since gaining his CPC and was quickly on the case as he converted to a chest release and popped in plenty of high flights in the classic conditions.

Adrian A changed onto the Mars and tackled his final EPC tasks which finally came together just after lunch to see him suddenly become a pilot not a passenger! With his airspeed, roll control and hip movement sorted (thanks to Shikira) he made great progress and rounded off his day with a couple of super high flights as good as they come. The completion of his EPC exam gave him his EPC, well done.

Carolyn B also having had a long break carried out some recap flights and again made steady progress moving into release flights by the end of play and looking smoother with each one.


With the ground work done Paul and Dave came over to the winch and were soon heading up the line for their first flights. They both survived the first one so were back for more with each successive flight getting a bit higher. By the end of the day they were getting up to 60' in the air and releasing the line finish off a cracking day.

Big Ray also popped in and after a bit of ground work got on the line to have some super flying and even a bit of "thermalling" showing us that he has not forgotten it and vowing to get out again soon.

Thanks to all on the field for such a fun day and well done to all
