Soaring at Sennen

Cathy welcomed back by Alfie and Evie

We headed to Sennen Cove at mid day with the hope of getting some tandem flying on the hanger in and as it turned out that's just what we did.  On arrival it was still brisk but by the time we had a bit of a chat things began to mellow and it was time to rig.

Big Grey, Nigel w Paul and gay were all there already and flying had been had although conditions had been variable.  By the time the glider was rigged and Cathy G (St Austell) had arrived it was looking good.  We wasted no time in getting up there and had a fun flight flying over the village, playing with the seagulls and seal spotting in very pleasant conditions.  Back on the ground Cathy had to download her experience to Evie and Alfie who both wanted to have a go but i think a few years yet!

The wind eased abit and Paul W took the chance to get some flying in on his Paraglider and did a fine job of it too.

Next up was Adam W (Paul W's) son for a taste of Hang Gliding to help him decide whether to HG or Pg.  we had a fun time flying alongside his dad Paul until he decided to land as the wind filled again. Adam and I had a great time in the improving conditions before joining him back on the ground.

Finally at the end of the day Nigel w joined me for some landing approach practise and as luck would have it it was best part of the day with the lift really kicking in making us have to make a real effort to loose height to make a normal landing approach, you can fly with me any time Nigel if you have that kind of luck!

Fun afternoon plenty of flying and nice and social :)
