Our Blog is an up to date record of what we have been up to both in the school and out of it. We endeavour to update it as regularly as possible and include a sample the days pictures when available.

You can scroll back through the
Blog and follow various students progress through their training and get a good idea of how the school operates.

You will also find records of our trips abroad which will give you a good idea of what to expect should you wish to come on one with us.

One step back two steps forwards

 Plenty on as the sun comes out

 So thats what cloudbase is like

 Martin gets a nice launch set up

 Anna gets back on the right track and has FUN

Bird on a Bike (You turn your back for one minute Phil!)

It was a slightly damp start in the tow field and the cloudbase was a little lower than we would have liked still not low enough to stop things from moving on.

Neil and Adam were back on the hangy and joined by Rick H (Truro) who was along for a tow conversion to help him back into flying.  Neil had another cracking day and moved onto the Calypso whilst perfecting his landings and also playing with prone, his flying is looking really neat and hopefully his experience with us will set him up his flying career.

Adam really got it cracked quickly moving onto the base bar and prone flying with his turns neat and tidy and his landing tippy toed.

Rick picked up the art of towing easily and after a couple of low level ones he was off to the top and into the mists. Tomorrow he will hopefully return to complete his endorsement and fly his own glider (Wills Wing U2).

On the Paragliding front many of yesterdays suspects were back along with one "new" one.  Despite damp wings and light wings they all gave ground handling a shot before heading over to the tow line.

Joe H (Helston) had another good day pushing well into his CPC as did Ian F (Hayle) and Simon W (Truro (not Plymouth)) all doing very well and looking very pleased by the end of it.

Martin J was back and moved along into his EPC after a few recap flights but we still need to work on his landings ....

Anna P worked really hard practising her ground handling with Kaz and Bill and it showed on her return to the winch.  We took her back a few stages and then moved forwards again with super results.  Annas towing improved dramatically and by the end of the day she was floating around with the best of them and the envy of some at her landing skills. Well done to all concerned.

Nice to Miles t drop by just to say hello and Adi pop his head in before news that Carbis was on saw him disappear just as quick!

Thanks again to Tim Phil and Bill for keeping the well oiled machine spinning.  Looks sunny and light tomorrow and whats more we should have Keith along with that shiny new Paramotor of his.
