Oh what a Pefect Day

 Kaz comes up to join the fun

 Airtime

 Two feet and a BIG Beach

 Lee gets set to go

Off to the beach for a coffee

Well in fact pretty much as it turned out.  With all the children around we set aside Sunday for a family day several weeks ago on a take it as it comes basis.  The guys and gals decided a spot of tandem flying would be fun if possible and with a good forecast we headed out to Chapel porth.  Whilst we waited for them and their partners to arrive Kaz and myself tested the air which proved gentle but steady lift.

By the times the rest arrived things were better and the beach was huge (never seen it so big) and still getting huger.  Helly (Cardiff) was first up on the Tandem Paraglider and having never done anything like it before was suitably nervous. No worries she had a great flight loving the whole thing and even the gentle wing overs :) Helly was followed by Lauren, Jenny, Sam and finally Lee who all had a ball in super conditions with good lift all the way to Orographic cloudbase at around 300' giving some great views.

With everyone back on terra firma we left the kit under the supervision of Paul H and walked to the beach for a coffee and to show Helly it's delights.  Then back up the hill to pack up and head home for a chilled evening  .......... Everyone had a fine time and so nice to spend some time with the kids. thank you to those of you in the know for giving us some space, much appreciated :)
