Jumping Jack Flash


 Graham A shows the perfect hand job, sorry position

 Michael B does a cracking launch and is straight into nodding dog :)
 The realisation of Airspeed makes for two happy bunnies

 Kev S on one of his many taster day flights

 Giant Jelly Fish attacks Michael as Phippsy leaves him to his fate.

Whilst the rest of the country basked in sunshine we had a slightly cloudier day in the field however it did make for perfect training conditions and were not complaining!

A more relaxed day than recently saw Graham A ( St Austell) on the hanger (after a bit of sheep moving) make good progress as he worked through the none release flights and into his first release ones and getting the feel of airspeed and how it helps both in turning and landing, good day for him.

Michael B (Sidmouth) was back for more and paced himself well with some ground handling mixed in with his flying.  he improved steadily through his flights popping in his first release flight on the Paraglider and starting gentle turns down to land. he ended the day nicely tired but also nicely happy what more can you ask.

Kev S (Bedfordshire) was along for a Taster day having seen us out at Perranporth yesterday and accosted us for information. Kev had done a little Paragliding over 20 years ago and despite the time it showed helping him in the ground work.  he had a cracking time and due to the relaxed numbers made the most of the day and ended up  with some super flying and release flights.  Be great to see him back when time permits, not sur e the middle of the family holiday is the best time!

Jack S (Truro) had another Jack day being everywhere and doing everything as he does and in amongst it all he managed to complete his CPC tow in fine style with some Assymmetrics and Active flying before just having some fun flights. Jack also helped out by doing some lovely demonstration launches for the camera to show how it should be done which was most useful. Well done Jack, a bit more experience then off the the hill for him. 

Good to have Cpt Kev back out on the winch and congratulations to on gaining her Kaz making gaining her Winch Operator Rating on Paragliders, watch out hangies it's you next.

Quote of the day "are you sure it's dead?"
