Slotting it in on Sunday

 The day gets going anf Nigel wonders what he has done wrong already!

 What's going on there then ??

 Tim joins in the thought process

 I am letting it fly, honest (Paul)

Toby J nicely set up to go

A not very promising forecast suddenly improved with a slot appearing as the wind eased off before increasing again a few hours later. We took full advantage of it in the tow field and had a fun day with those present all making good progress. The hangies were first away with Nigel W (St Just) finishing off his EPC tasks, moving onto the mars and sorting tighter turns out nicely, next time out should see him off to the top.

Paul L (Plymouth) on his second taster day worked hard moving off tethers and bit by bit relaxing and sorting out the speed to fly before ending the day with a nice release flight. In fact it was a good enough experience for Paul to decide to carry on and we look forward to seeing him again soon as he moves into his EPC.

Paragliding was represented by Toby J (Sennen) who was along for a Taster day and had a ball. he worked steadily through the ground based work and had some fun hand towing before getting onto the winch. After a couple of flights he had got the hang of it and his third was a real beauty. Being a little quieter in the field we popped him up for a fourth flight and got him to release the line putting the icing on the cake. Nice work Toby be good to see you again.

With conditions just starting to change as the wind backed further to the south we had some tandems to fly and what a fun bunch they were. Down on holiday the "children" had decided to go flying and that's what they did. Rachel, Simon and Jonathon all had super flights in what had become very buoyancy conditions seeing them all float around the field as the soaked in the views. Even dad go tempted but as the wind increased we thought better of it, may be next time. A good day and an unexpected one but there you go
