Unlucky for some ...

i hate putting the date on things when it's the 13th but in this line of work it does not pay to get superstitious!  Another early start saw Nigel C and myself in the field in sunnier conditions and lighter winds.  Nigel popped in a nice flight enjoying the morning light and judging his landing to the extreme so saving a walk.

08.00 and I was out of there on the "Bonnie" and off the the dentist where all went well so back in the field by just gone 10.00.  Nigel was joined in the field by Charlie K (Winchester) back after a Taster day some weeks ago on the Hanger and Russel S (Torquay) on his EPC on the Paraglider.

Charlie was soon back into the way of it and moved off tethers and into low level flights nicely having a great day and setting her for release flights next time out.

Russel S had a fab day finishing off his EPC (congratulations) before starting off his CPC and popping in his first high flights.  Russel did a fine job even as conditions got bouncier as the wind did a 180 and the thermals kicked in.

Nigel C had a less successful day with an aborted take off stopping play but at least giving him time to complete and pass his CPC power exam as did Simon G so giving him his CPC power rating and making him "legal",

Camera Back tomorrow..... promise
