Mucking about on Monday

Off to the field again and with a bit of a mixture on and Kaz not feeling so good it was always going to be a busy day.  Paul H made a welcome return on the winch to help out as Daisy was busy and Tim was still heading south from John O'Groats on his push bike ............

With two Taster days to get going I cracked on with Claire L (Ivybridge) and Clive S (Portwrinkle) whilst Duncan B (Cullumpton) and Paul H (Ivybridge) got some ground handling in on Paragliders along with Emil K (Bridgewater) along for his first flights on the Paramotor and Triston J who was along to pick up  his Parachute and have a fun flight on his Paramotor.

Late morning saw Triston get airborne and have a super flight although his landing was less than perfect due to some strange playing with the power on approach, how easily bad habits creep in when leaving the school .........  With a break for the taster days to catch their breath we got Emil into the school power unit and after a bit of on site maintenance he was up and away on his first powered flight.  An acceptable take off was followed by a very good flight and a first class landing 9 guess he learnt from the previous demo) and a huge Emil smile, nice one.

Next it was time to get the winch running and with the 4 paragliders taking turns we had a good time.  Duncan got his first taste of towing and moved nicely through to release flights, Paul moved on through his release flights and into turns whilst Claire and Clive did a great job putting in their taster day flights with every one being a good one, well nearly.

Emil got a second flight in on the Paramotor and flew till he ran out of fuel and again a perfect landing to round off his day.

Clive topped up his taster day with a tandem flight on the Paraglider and just loved it.  We were also joined by Teri P (Cambridgeshire) who was down on holiday for a tandem flight and her reaction was classic, think we shall see her again next time she is down.

A good day out if a busy one and yes we did miss you Kaz xx

Once again sorry about the lack of piccies but do check out paul H's video of Claires antics here
