Easing in

Joe and John, father and son go Tandem

Tristan D does a commited take off run (as do the rest of us!)

Tristan flies to the edge of launch, nice

As the weather cleared and the wind veered we headed out to Perranporth where on arrival things were just getting nicely flyable. With a couple of the more daring Paragliders hanging in there in the breeze we took the chance to get up on the Tandem hanger with John D (Ireland) who having seen his son Joe go up on Friday decided to opt for the hangy after all.

We had a real fun time in super lift just playing around, chasing sea gulls and chatting so setting the world to rights. John was very appreciative and having realized a 35 year old ambition I was delighted to have been part of it, enjoy the rest of your holidays guys and keep in touch.

Tristan D (Bedfordshire) was down to start his Hang Gliding EPC course so we got him going on the Condor getting the basic groundwork sorted before running him along the top on tethers. Tristan did a fine job and was soon floating across the landing area before being landed as the edge approached. Hopefully he will get straight into the towing tomorrow.

In between tethering Tristan and with the wind on the drop I had some excellent fun floating about with the Paragliders on the Condor and playing with some gentle thermals whilst Kaz got some time in on her Paraglider.

Congratulations to Adi C on cracking his first 10 hours not bad since he only started hill soaring on the 16th May and he now has over 35 flights in his log book!
