Carbis Capers

Early Start in the hope of catching the breeze before it dropped off.  Arriving on site at just gone 07.00 Dave B (Praze) who had already been to the front advised it was on the top end, now there is a surprise!  Still with the forecast to drop we got tot the front and sure enough it was windy enough.  a test of the air on my Delta 2 proved the point and it on hold for Dave and time to get the Zero out to play.

A bit of weeding to help clear launch (how about everyone who flies there puts in 10 minutes worth each visit?) whilst Dave took another exam passing nicely, saw a bit larger setting out area in readiness.  The wind continued to blow, Calamity Mike took off< Graham K gave it a go but thought better of it and Kaz flew the Zero and Bill N his ASKA.

Dave joined by Carl R (Plymouth) waited patiently but if anything it got breezier so we called it a day and headed home to sort out Carls new harness and parachute leaving Fergie and Treeve playing on the dunes.

A couple of hours at home relaxing and getting Carls kit sorted whilst keeping an eye on the weather and things seemed to be mellowing.  A coupe of phone calls and we set off back to Carbis where we met with the sight of Colin N's wing taking off and soaring around, looking promising.

On the front it was a lot lighter but off to the north so whilst Carl rigged Kaz tested the air.  By the time Carl was ready things were a lot better and the fun began.  Carl and Colin had a ball getting some super soaring and plenty of practice at top landings, with Carl putting in 8 flights and Colin 4.

sharing the sky - and the view

Richard and Chris (Bristol) turned up and both had cracking Tandem flights enjoying the stunning views as we played in the abundant lift.

Dave B returned from concreting duties and popped in a couple of good soaring flights the second a lot more comfortable than the first ....... to complete his hill soaring conversion with a big smile.


So a good day all round as it turned out, just goes to prove you can never tell.
