Tom (the young one at 16) and Phippsy (the older one) pose for a CPC celebration photoWith Tom D coming all the way down from Birmingham we made a special effort to get out despite no other students booked in.
In very nice conditions Tom went for it on the hangy and moved onto the tow release on the mars before cracking prone, slow flight appreciation, prone flying and spot landings ohh and yes converting onto the Calypso over a total of 20 flights to complete his CPC! Tom worked hard yet took it all in his stride making for a very pleasant and relaxed day, thank you and well done.
He got a break in the middle when Sam (Essex) came along on her 25th Birthday for a Tandem flight on the Paraglider and had a fun time ending with a "fairground" ride down and plenty of screaming. Nice to meet her and Darius and Darius junior and hope they enjoy the rest of their holiday.
Adi C (Illogan) also took the pressure off Tom in the afternoon by putting in some experience tows on the Paraglider as well as getting his new Velvet 2 harness sorted and adjusted to both his liking and so getting in and out is nice and easy.
Good to have Paul H back on the winch for the day and have to say his towing was just like he had never taken a break, super. Looks like the next couple of days should see more in the field.
