The Hangy conditions continue and we continue to make the most of them.

The chosen site was Chapel Porth for the day and with a spring tide by 09.30 there was plenty of beach just in case.

Kaz led the way on her hangy closely followed by newly qualified (Yesterday) Michel on the Calypso in fresh conditions which provided stacks of lift and super soaring conditions. Whilst they played Tony T (Brighton) and Al H (Bideford) got their gliders rigged and sorted in anticipation.

With Michel back on the ground we took Tont T to the front on his shiny mylar Wills Wing Falcon 3 for his first flight in two years, where have you been Tony? Despite pre flight nerves he did an excellent take off and enjoyed a very pleasant soaring flight before popping back in on top, just what he needed.

Al H then put in some air time on the Calypso looking every part a pilot so regaining his qualification after many years off. Next i test flew Al's own glider and sorted out the hang point before Al took it up himself. He had a great flight settling into the lighter handling and slightly less staedy wing well and loving the extra performance it gave.

Kaz and Michel sneaked in second flights getting even higher than before as the wind increased and backed a little more to the s/w as the front approached.

Sam A also made it down but was a little late and Bill N, Dean F and Rick W all kept us company as it was too windy for danglers. In fact I think it may have proved too much for Dean and Rick we shall see come Thursday if the weather plays ball!

So yet another hangy back on the scene and if the front clears tomorrow we should also get Tony finished with a bit of luck, how many is that??
