No it was not really that bad but it was misty! With a forecast to clear up as the warm/occluded front slowly passes by we went for it and with three taster day paragliders on it was always going to be a chilled day.
Setting up in the field we wondered if we had done the right thing but by late morning things improved nicely just in time for the guys to get to grips with their wings. Steve T (Luton) , Trev R (Twickenham) and Christopher G (Truro) all worked well getting used to the canopies and working up a sweat in the humid conditions so losing a few pounds as an added bonus!
A welcome rest for lunch saw the sun pop out in amongst the rolling banks of mist. Still by mid afternoon the hand tows were out of the way and the guys were ready to fly. Trev led the way followed by Steve and Christopher, Coadys theory that one in three would jump into the air was up held but I am not saying which one it was.....
Each flight saw them improve and by the end of play everyone had achieved some nice flying and even some nice take off's and landings were in amongst them. A nice relaxed day for us and a nice relaxed group to be out with, we gave the tandem tows a miss as the view would have been limited to say the least but we may get them out on the hill if things are good over the next few days.
