It was an early start with kaz having the need to fly waking me up at 05.00! so she could get an early flight in before we headed to the field. On site at Chapel at 05.45 and the wind was smack on at 20mph + great but as we had not taken the hangies not so good. back home for breakfast and top up with hangies then back out to chapel as towing was knocked on the head due to wind strength and forecast up date.
Let the rain pass whilst Adi sneaked one in then stroll to the front.....not enough wind for anything! Still with a couple of tandems due out we held on. Richard P from Plymouth was along who had been down on holiday and this was his last day. No sooner did Richard arrive and had a chat about how things were a bit light did the wind return and swing smack on making cracking conditions with Kaz and Adi proving it so.
We wasted no time and soon Richard was up and away for a super flight on the Paraglider. we had a great time as Richard settled down and it was not long before we played with the wing and he had a go at flying it. Once again so nice to take someone up who really appreciated it and made the most of it. back to earth and we made a nice landing just as the wind filled a bit more, perfect.
By the time John C from Falmouth was briefed and ready a look at the sea gave me cause to hesitate..... sure enough in the space of less than a minute the wind backed to the SW and conditions became unflyable, something to be wary of.
Still we had some nice flying and made some new friends so what more can you ask, next time John with a bit of luck.
