Jelly fish invade the field

Stupid boy

Paul gets it "sorted" and impersonates a starfish

It was fun to be back in the field after a nice break on the hills and good to see both new faces and some familiar ones out there.

We had a fairly busy day with four paraglider day ones and two hangy day ones to keep us occupied. Whilst Kaz and bill took the Paras I took the hangies and things got moving pretty quickly in gorgeous weather and near perfect conditions.

On the Paraglider front we had Emil (Dawlsih) and Paul H (Illfracombe) both looking to take up the sport whilst Paul and Debbie G (St Austell) were along for a Taster day having been introduced by Steve D to the idea.

On the Hangy side there was the troublesome twosome of Dean F and Rick W who after having had to suffer watching far too much hanging over the last few days decided to give it a try.

Everyone worked hard through the morning sorting out the ground work and by early afternoon we were ready to roll. The hangies got going first and proved that they could do it with a very promising start on the tethers. Then the paras came on line one by one and all of them did well improving with every flight and some even looking like pilots!

Then it was back to the hangies and by the end of the day both Rick and Dean were off the tethers and looking sweet without a grass stained knee between them!

A fun day had by all and nice to see Richard W drop in on his Paramotor to say hello as he plans his next adventure.
