Thermals on at Carbis

The wind flicked about first thing but it was always due to come on at Carbis and by mid morning it started to do just that. The early birds had to wait a while and by the time we arrived at midday there had been some flying but not a lot.

Arriving at launch the wind had dropped and things were scratchy but it was not long before it filled in just nicely.  With John P on his way down from Bristol for a Tandem flight we kept fingers crossed that it would fill in enough!

It was good to see Ollie C and Todd E both down and having fun and nice to also see how their flying skills have progressed since learning with us earlier in the year. A couple of fun flights to test the air and by the time John P and his daughter Amanda arrived it was looking good.

Wasting no time as conditions came good we briefed John and were soon in the air joining the others, it was almost busy!  The air was improving all the time and it was not long before we climbed above the ridge lift in sme nice thermic lift to have a cracking flight. The visibility was stunning, so clear that you could see every detail on the dunes over at Gwithian.

Keeping a close eye on the sea we spotted some heavier wind lines so after a goof flight we came back in on top, perfect.  Excellent timing by John who had made a long trip for the flight, well done.

Fergie and Treeve joined in the fun adding another of this years brood to the mix alongside the usuals or Michel, Mike A, Lee K, Jerry, Fiona A, Andy R, Kaz and those already mentioned, a fun crowd with plenty of laughs, does no one work??

Then it was back to playtime in the thermals, everyone had a ball and the Mojo boys were right up there with Adie and Todd proving its not all about performance wings.  With the breeze steadily filling although the climbs got better seeing gains up to 1000'  the drift was pretty quick. Still good fun and I think we shall seek a few gliders over the back in the next few days ;)

Oh and apologies to Paul H if I nearly gave him a heart attack!
