With a very thermic looking day underway and a bit of a breeze up we delayed going out to play until later in the day so things could settle down for the students. Arriving at the field at 16.30 our timing was spot on with the sea breeze collapsing, the wind easing and backing and the thermic activity mellowing.
Duncan B (Cullumpton) and Tim W (Shropshire) were both along for their second day on the winch on Paragliders with a view to both paragliding and Paramotoring in the longer term. A bit of one to one ground handling instruction form Kaz and myself worked wonders and in no time the pair of them were looking like they knew what they were doing, looks can be deceiving!
With the wind now settled in the SW we fired up the winch and sent Phil l to the top to test conditions, after a bit of a delay on the way down he reported it lifty ;) and we got the guys on the go. A very productive few hours followed with Duncan and Tim making huge progress as they worked through the EPC tasks and finished off the evening with a high flight each to the top and circuit back so starting their CPC ones, two days work done on both of them.
With the sun setting it was time to pack up and once again it shows what a difference a bit of flexability on timing can make, this is definitely not a 9 to 5 operation! Even the cows enjoyed it :)
