Ups and Downs

Back to the field but this time  a bit more on with a good mixture of toys and boys.

Dave H (Leeds) was back for a second day on the Paraglider having had such fun yesterday, he was joined by Ollie C (Plymouth) also from yesterday, Colin N (Newlyn East) on his second day and Steve L (Exeter) on his 4th day on the Paragliders.  Richard H (Bristol) drove down for the day to play on the Hang Glider whilst Emil K (Devon) and Keith W were along for Paramotoring.

With the wind flicking about a little in the morning ground handling was the order until it settled down around midday and things got moving.  Emil got things going with the Paramotor making it all look far too easy as he popped in a total of four flights to complete his CPC Paramotor conversion including his theory exam, well done Emil :))


Emil gets going on the Paramotor

With the winch up and running Ollie got some more flights in on his Z4 playing with speed bar and big ears and sorted out his harness sizing, breeding hips I guess .......

Colin and Dave matched each other through the afternoon and seemed to feed off each others success as they built up the flights nicely both looking more like pilots with each flight.  By the the end of the day Dave had completed his release flights and gentle turns whilst Colin much to his surprise had moved onto higher flights and bigger turns.


Dave head up and away on his second day with us


Colin and Phippsy applaud Emil, or are they rehearsing how to release flights ??

Steve L moved on with his CPC Paragliding well and also sorted harness sizing whilst completing several tasks on the ay and ending up with speed bar.


All going on as Steve floats back in


Steve just soaking up the atmosphere

Richard H had a ball on the hang Glider and kept Ollie entertained with his swooping which seemed to impress him lots, can see who will be the next one to start hanging.  By the end of play he had popped in a couple of high flights which were the icing on the cake for him after over 20 years of trying!


Richard ready to go to the top at the end of a cracking day

Keith had a couple of go's at getting up on the Paramotor but never quite cracked it, well maybe he did ................

Many thanks to Adie for his help and well done to Kaz for some staunch towing with a variety of things going on.

Quote of the day "I never expected to be signing that"
