11.45 Sam J already on site and waiting for PC's Talon and the wind smack on and fresh, perfect. Whilst Gary f and Mike B played on a mini wing I got the Tandem rigged followed by the T2 C and Sam the Talon. Time to fly and test conditions, nice na drifty nice and smooth, even better than it looked. Gentle sea thermals soon saw climbs up to 900' giving loads of height to play.
The start of a classic flight
With Peter (Tavistock) arriving for his tandem flight I nipped in and we got to meet the family before briefing him for his flight that he got for his birthday only last week. Sam J launched on the Talon and Chris W arrived and helped us off on the Tandem. Pete was the perfect passenger, just loving it and making the glider feel like it was a solo. In the super lift Pete got the chance to fly the glider before I put her through her paces ........
Pete loving it
We waited to land as sam j made his approach and watched from up high. A good approach soon turned into an interesting situation resulting in a pole vault and a broken Talon. We followed suit, well not literally and it was a beaming Pete that unclipped.
Happy Birthday
With Sam off for a check up (no damage) courtesy of Gary F, thank you, Chris W launched for a super flight and after "deriving" the Talon I joined him on my glider. Chris landed, Andy R launched , I landed and finally Andy landed as the wind eased back to Paragliderble.
A fun day for the Hangies and the mini wing that was there guess the rest were on the Towans?
