What a glorious day with wall to wall sunshine all day. We were back in the field which had dried out nicely and was looking superb. Jeremy S (Taunton) was back to continue his CPC Hang Gliding after a long break (last flew in July) and was joined by Steve M (Exeter) for a taster day Paragliding.
Whilst Kaz got Steve sorted Jeremy rigged the Hangy and put in a few refresh runs across the field showing that he had not forgotten what to do. With the breeze filling in Steve goon with basic ground handling and in fact made it look very easy and was soon reverse ground handling like a pro!.
The breeze continued to pick up and whilst it was ok for the Hangy it was too much for Para's so Steve went onto stand by. Jeremy was soon clipped in and getting his feet off the ground for the first time in over 7 months. He was soon back in the groove and looking good despite slightly challenging conditions. Finishing off his final tasks Jeremy completed his stalls an slow flight appreciation to complete his CPC, excellent.
The wind stayed too high for the Para so Steve will have to wait for another day to complete his Pg Taster. Nice to see some of the guys fro by on their way back from flying elsewhere and also to see Mel (Downderry) who dropped by to check us out with a view to learning.
