Alistair (Totnes) was back refreshed after a day off yesterday plant buying and made the most of the morning sweetening up his ground handling and looking good at it. With the guys sorters the winch was up and running and the fun began. Robin had an amazing day putting in 6 good flights and moving nicely into his EPC course finishing off with his low (60') release flights and just loving it, a bit different from flying in his day job!
Alistair gives it the thumbs up
Alistair moved deep into his CPC tasks putting away another 7 flights and is on the verge of the instability tasks .......... A slight delay in operations was caused when a helicopter was seen to disappear below the nearby cliffs presumably to pick someone up. Just as well we waited before towing ali high again as when it reappeared it made a beeline straight over us!
Robin on day one
By 16.00 we were all done and dusted and the wind began to fill and the thermals pop so we wrapped up before heading to the hill at Perranporth where we met up with Luke H for a 13th Birthday flight. Kaz tested the air on her Paraglider and gave the thumbs up so we popped out the Tandem Paraglider and got Luke briefed up.
It was a great flight and don't you just love youngsters they are just like sponges soaking everything up and enjoying it all. We had a fine time in what were by now classic conditions with the site to ourselves everyone else having given up being there all day just before it got good! With Sister Lily getting a bit chilly on the ground we came in for a fine top landing and a very happy family picture.
Quote of the day "oh, just do what you want then.......?"
