Making a decision both the forecast and on what was happening in the morning we decided to give the hill a go at carbis Bay to hopefully get martin j started on his hill conversion. On arrival a couple of Paragliders were scratching just below take off and whilst they both did good jobs of managing to sneak in on top it was way to light for normal soaring.
Still we made the most of it acclimatizing Martin to the hill and its ways. A bit of ground handling helped to settle his nerves and a drop in the wind further helped! So just before midday we opted to pack up and head to the tow field.
The afternoon proved an useful one with Colin B and Ann W making good progress into release flights whilst working on stand up landings rather than sit down ones! Rodders C Mousehole joined in the fun moving well into his EPC with higher flights and turns down to land and with a bit of luck he should finish it next day out.
Even the wind played ball and whilst switching direction as forecast from NE to NW to SW some swift winch moves kept things moving. :))
