Fielding

After a couple of  cracking days on the hill it was back to the field for some more fun and frolics.  Not quite as sunny as yesterday but still sunny enough to liven up the sky as the day went on.  We had a pretty busy day with Triston J (Torquay) on his Paramotor along for some fun flying, Jenny S (Falmouth) joined by Tom G (Exeter) and James C (Andover) on the hangies,   Chris D (Plymouth) and Darrell V (lifton) day one Para's, Gary T (St Austell) and Peter V both finishing on their EPC Para's.

The hangies got going first on the winch with towing underway before 11.00 as the wind was again forecast to fill.  Jenny back on her second day showed she had not forgotten what she learnt and had a fine time coming off the tethers and moving to 20' flights showing good control over her 6 flights before having to leave at 13.00 to travel up country.  Tom and James cracked on and despite a long break of 5 months got back into it quickly moving them into release flights and learning loads over their  8 flights each.


Jenny looking pretty chuffed with herself


even happy :)



In amongst the tows Triston popped in a couple of nice flights on his Paramotor finding it quite lively up top and a bit variable on landing, still he did well and had a huge smile as he packed away early afternoon.

Triston smiling as ever

Peter V and Gary T joined in on the winch early afternoon and were sooon rattling off the flights with Peter finishing off his EPC flights and popping in three to the top of the line making a total of 9 and loving it, one more then he is hived off onto the Paramotor route.  Meanwhile Gary made good progress into his EPC fights looking very relaxed over his 6 flights
, another coupe and he too will be off to the top.

Fortunately the increase in wind never really came till late giving us plenty of time for Chris and Darrell to get their flights in. they both did a fine job putting in 4 nice flights and ending on a release one each, the guys worked well together and thanks for the coffee ;))


Quality coffee time 

So a full on day and plenty done  with plenty of fun all round and no driving into Phil's car despite him parking it between both of our vehicles!! that's trust ......

Nice to hear from Shaun s who had made a return to Sennen and managed a further 3 flights as a newly qualified pilot, well done, keep an eye out for him on the hill guys.

Quote of the day " that's soooooo much fun"
