Very Very nice at Vault

The start of a fab' day as Kaz shares the air with me

With a variety of sites on option based on the forecast we picked to go to Vault bay having knocked towing on the head due the wind forecast to increase by early afternoon and windier in the west.

As we neared the site we could already see Bi Gray up and flying on his paraglider so things looked promising.  With the wind a little off to the south we set up at the east end and got up on the Paragliders to make the most of it before the forecast wind backed and filled in.  We had some cracking flying along with Big G (who had now flicked to flying his falcon hangy), Fiona A, Nigel W, Tony P and a bit later Michel all enjoying super conditions and playing around.

Nigel W joins in the fun

and climbs out

Ian C (Plymouth) turned up for a flight on the Tandem paraglider and timed it perfectly with us getting into the air quickly and having a fabulous flight in beautiful sunshine and the coast looking at it's best,  Ian did a fine job of flying the glider whilst we put the world to rights and coming from a motorcycling background in Plymouth it was not long before Bill N's name came up and guess what, he knew him!  With the wind filling in we opted to land at the west end  and what a tippy toed one it was.

Ian C enjoys a front seat for the best view in the house

Big G has fun on his hangy

By now it was Hangy time and Kieth S (Oakhampton) led them off the hill followed by Nigel W, Kaz and finally Sam A (S Devon) who got his first flight on his new Wills Wing Sport 2 135 and looked suitably nervous at launch.  3 minutes into his flight he was checking out the hands off position and looking totally at home.  So good to see him settle into his new wing and get his thoughts on it which included , "it lives up to all I hoped for"  and  " I learnt more in that hour than in all the time on the Am*ur""  Modern kit makes life easy :))

Team mate Michel

Everyone had a ball on there hangies and all landed at the west end with the wind now well into the twenties.  Julia who lives near by wandered by to check us out and next thing she was clipped into the Hangy and up for a Tandem flight!  We had a grand time floating about looking at the scenery, looking at her cottage and generally having a good chat.  Really unexpected flight for her and one of those things when all the signs and the opportunity come together it would be rude to miss it.

A nice landing with the others rounded off a cracking day for all and there were plenty of happy faces as we went our separate ways, here comes summer :))

Hope to get hold of some of the Hangy piccies and will put up soon...
