Lunch time
Jack comes in after a thermal flight
Lawn mowers (or is it Sunday lunch)
It was a busy one out in the field with plenty on and a good mixture of students.
Jake C (Somerset) was back for day two on the Hangy and moved nicely onto the Falcon and slightly higher flights in preparation for release flights. By the end of the day he had made good progress and learnt all about slow flight and how it affects turnability :)
Jack S (Truro) finished off his EPC on the paraglider before putting in his first high flights to the top of the line and even having the chance to start his thermalling career as things got more lively by early afternoon with a nice flight as he 360'd over the field.
Ian an Anna (Gwithian) put in some ground handling before getting back into the air with some high flights and again both found out what thermals are like.
Richard M (N.Devon) was along for day two of his paramotoring course and did well finishing off release flights before moving into higher flights with gentle turns before the wind picked up.
John O (Sidmouth) was along for a taster day having done sail planing and power flying over the years and now looking at something more accessible. John did well as he worked through the ground work but alas by the time he was ready to fly the wind picked up a bit too much so he will have to wait until next time, Wednesday ??
Nice to see a few others along who are interested in learning to fly including Mike b and Shaun both thinking of Paramotoring and thanks to them for their help through the day and patience in waiting to chat to us.
Mike S also made an appearance after a 4 year break and popped in some ground handling in preparation for some recap work before heading to the hill.
Despite the wind picking up a good day and we made the best of the down time by covering the theory side which saw Jake, John and Richard all through their EPC exams and Jack his CPC so well done guys.
