Mon Hang Checks
Run Run Run
Off and away
Back on the ground Mon looks pretty happy with it all
Arriving at Vault Bay Steve D had just landed his paraglider after a short flight during which the wind went fromjust soarable to too windy over a matter of minutes or so. However with the Orographic cloud coming and going the wind was as well so we decided to hang on.
Whilst Steve tested conditions again and got the Tandem Paraglider ready I rigged the tandem hangy to cover all bases. With conditions slightly mellower and Steve M up to test the air Steve D continued with his Dual rating on the Paraglider taking me up for a series of flights in what were challenging enough conditions. Steve did a fine job even managing to protect his passenger (me ) from the cow pats on landing, such thought and much appreciated.
With the wind picking up it was time for the hangy to go up and with Mon on board for a flight we had a great time playing with the lift, the seagulls and the clouds. Mon was totally amazed at the whole experience soaking in every aspect of the flight. We rounded it off with a nice landing along the road although we did have to wait for a gap in the clouds to find it!
Mon is booked in for a taster day next time out and it will be good to see how he gets on at the controls. Nice to see a few other faces out although a shame it was to top end for Russell to finish off his hill flights.
