What a fun day out it was with plenty going on at Chapel Porth.  Originally we thought it would be a para day but arrival at Chapel soon changed our minds although to be fair Geoff H (Honiton) down on holiday had a nice flight on his Para just before we arrived.

A flight on the ASKA showed there was plenty of lift around and it to be blowing 22 - 24 so it was a Hangy / ASKA day after all.  Gerry and Gareth down from London on holiday arrived and had no problems in deciding to change their flights from Paraglider to Hang Glider and both had super flights in excellent conditions and smooth lift making life easy.  Nice to see Michel join us in the air on his new toy and looking very comfortable with it, his only problem was how to get it down again! it must have been lifty.

Ian R (Dartmouth) was next on the Tandem and again despite expecting to Paraglide was more than happy to go up on the Hangy and enjoyed the whole experience, well worth the wait.

By the time Ian's flight was over and we debriefed and Kaz was set to go on her hangy the wind had eased back and moved to the south a little.  Kaz was not so sure so i took the delta up for a try.  Yep it was still windy enough and plenty of lift saw me in Big ears to get back down.  Kaz was off and away for a cracking flight whilst i pinched her lunch, yummy.

Big grey and Paul arrived and after a bit of iffing and umming both had nice flights on their Falcons along with Kaz up again on her Eagle.

Jack S who had been with us all day took the chance of a flight on the hangy with me and had a nice one not only enjoying the ride but also proving a natural at flying it too, what next Jack ??

A final flight on the ASKA as Kaz packed up and a super day rounded off with lots of happy faces :) ;)
