With low cloud and drizzle we opted not to go to the field but made good use of the time catching up on ppw. Mid afternoon saw a bit of a clearance and with flyable reports at Carbis and the tide going out we headed there. Whilst it was flyable it has to be said it was not perfect with the wind on the move. Martin j and Steve W practised ground handling along with Ian F who got his nice new Gin Bolero 4 out of the bag for the first time and found out just how nice it was on the ground. Whilst the more experienced amongst us got some flying in it was never good for the hill conversions so we quit early and headed home for an early tea.
That was never going to happen and with the sky clearing it was off to the field with Tiege S (Hereford) to get his introduction and ground work on the hangy out of the way in preparation for his first day on the tow. we had a fun couple of hours getting it sorted and it was a tired Tiege who after a days travelling and an evening running around was dropped off at his tent as the sun set. Lets see how it helps on his next time out.....
