Full on in the field

With a brighter day than the last few forecast we headed to the field with a pretty much full day booked.  Conditions were light in fact very light on arrival so whilst yesterday's hangy boys rigged the hangies Ian F, Anna P and Treeve T all back to continue their EPC Paragliding sat their EPC exams.

By the time the gliders were rigged , the exams were marked (all passing so congratulations) and The day oners Adam W (Truro) and Miles T  (Iloogan) had done their PLF's and airfield introduction the wind had filled a little and we set the winch out.

The hangies got going quickly and were soon rattling off their remaining release flights in fine style, Ian, Anna and Treeve soon joined in on the winch and moved well into their EPC tasks towing higher and building their turns.  Early afternoon saw Adam and Miles get their first flights on the tow with both having a good time and ending with their first release flights to put big grins all round.  Despite the wind being a little fickle everyone managed good progress and we should have a few new EPC's next day out.

Oh we did have the first set of muddy knees on the hangy not bad after two days and  27 flights!

Sorry no piccies but hoping to get some sooooon :~
