Back to work ;)

After a few days away it was good to have some keen pilots to get out in the field with and what a super day it was.

Whilst Kaz got the introductions down with the three taster days/ day ones I got On with Geoff P (Saltash) back for his second day flying his Paramotor.  With the wind still a little light Geoff got his kit sorted in readiness before starting his CPC exam and waiting for conditions to improve.

Steve, Paul and Peter were all along for a go at Paragliding and it was not long before they were clipped into the gliders and getting to grips with the basics under the watchful eye of Kaz assisted by Peachy and later on Phil, overstaffed or what, still can't complain:)

There's got to more to it than this ?

The wind filled just nicely making it easier work and encouraging Geoff to have a go on the Paramotor.  Up and away first time he popped in a cracking flight to put a few nerves to rest before coming in for a good landing and a big smile.

The Newbies were joined by Robin D back for his second day and spent the morning ground handling which I have to say was well worth while seeing a dramatic improvement over a short period.  With the hand tows underway Geoff took the chance for another flight demonstrating how take offs should be done, as near to perfect as you could ask, lets hope he keeps that standard up.

Lunch and it was time to get the winch out complete with shiny new alternator so no more jump leads!  A test flight proved conditions were good and convinced the guys we are not totally mad as they all seemed happy to give it a go.

Paul led the way and set a good standard for the other sot follow doing pretty much as asked, ideal.  Steve followed suit and Peter brought up the rear.  They all managed three flights and in fairness did a pretty good job ending up with stand up landings and some nice flying, ok we did have the odd "jumper".

With the day ones sorted Robin popped onto the line and had a fine time moving deeper into his EPC finishing off with 200' release flights and good turns down to land. Hopefully he will move into his CPC next time out.

Sums it up

Geoff got another two flights in to round off a full day for him having also used his time to good effect with some ground handling to sharpen his skills.

So another good one with everyone happy, in fact so much so that Steve booked in for a full course and Paul will do when he next returns to sunny Cornwall.  Great feed back from the guys, thank you and it was pleasure to meet them along with Nicola (Pete's other half) hope you have a great holiday and enjoy the surfing next.

Zzzzzzz
