 Rounding off a perfect day in light lift at Perran while the BBQ gets going

What started off as a tricky call on site selection turned out good in the end and in fact near enough perfect.  Split between perran and chapel we opted for Chapel to avoid the crowds and the radicals and take advantage of the low tide.

On arrival it was definitely a hangy day so we carried forward and got rigged and ready for the tide to drop. Phil l was along for some more experience and Dave D to hopefully get his second soaring flight in.  Paul h flew around on the ASKA although by now the wind seemed to be on the drop. Kaz took off on her hangy and had a cracking flight so things looked good.  As the tide dropped out the wind followed suit and by the time it was safe for the hangy boys it was on the light side.

So change of plan, we got Steve W and Ian F ready for their first hill soaring flights on the Para's a quick test of the air on the delta and it was perfect. Steve led the way and made it all look far too easy with a cracking soaring flight followed by a super top landing and grin to match " ******* awesome" was his landing comment :)  Ian was next off and not to be out done also popped in a super flight settling in quickly to the ways of the hill and also popped back in on top with an equally big grin.

During the low tide slot they managed a total of 3 flights each racking up around 45 minutes each before the beach dissapered and stopped play.

In between their flights John C (Falmouth) took the chance for his Tandem flight on the Paraglider and we had a fun 20 minutes in a mixture of good lift and scratchy conditions giving us varying views of the cliffs! Still we managed to get back in on top nicely to round off a good one.

With the hard wiork over we upped sticks and headed to Perran where things were now quieter and the beach still big.  Steve and Ian took the chance for another flight each in very different conditions making them work hard at staying up.  Steve managed to slip back in on top but the lift dropped on Ian seeing him on the beach along with a few others.

Good to see James C making the most of it on his hangy and showing the Paras just how good hangies can be in light conditions and showing several more experienced hangy pilots just how to top land Perran when the wind is light......  Jack S was also there upping his daily record to over 30 flights in a day on his Para.

So overall a good one with a nice social BBQ in the Parapit to round it off yummy :))
