Jack thermals up as daisy explains the intricacies of good towing to Emil
Jack and Emil share the field as they come in to land
Final words of wisdom to Jake as he sets off for the top
Phippsy at work !
Whilst Graham D (Penryn) and Steve W (Derby) got on with their taster days on the Paragliders Ian L (Bristol), Jake C (Somerset) both on the hangy along with Jack S (Truro) and Emil K (Tiverton) chased the wind as it moved around the field. A couple of winch moves and a bit of theory later we settled down for some lovely towing into a NE sea Breeze.
Jack out for experience tows had a ball on his new wing and hooked into a nice thermal on his third tow and could be heard wooping it up as he climbed above our heads. despite no vario and no guidance he did a great job and was still up flying around by the time Emil was on his way up. In fact they both landed together and it was big smiles.
Emil settled into his towing nicely and had a fab day practising spot landings which he perfected nicely with some real beauties.
The Hangy boys worked away steadily popping in 8 flights each building their turns and confidence whilst again learning the importance of airspeed. By the end of the day they had both done their first flights to the top of the line and one even gone XC !! They both finished off their EPC tasks and have signed up for CPC so can't be bad, well done guys.
Graham and Steve got onto the winch by mid afternoon and despite a few nerves did really well slowly relaxing a bit with each flight. They finished off with a release flight each and a gain big smiles ;)
Emils partner Esal cam up for a Tandem flight and had a ball enjoying the views and the thrills and realising just why Emil does it.
Getting more like summer every day so if you come along bring your sun cream, Oh and yes right at the end of the day we had a Deer visit us don't know where it came from or where it went but nice to see.
