Pulling them off ..

Day two for the demon duo and it was back in the field with Wyn D and Chris H as they continue their quest to add Hang Gliding to their Paragliding "skills".  It was a little on the chilly side and without them having to do the run around bit we needed to keep moving to keep warm.


Wyn D gets higher and higher

 The guys showed what they had learnt by rigging the gliders themselves so a good start.  Kaz and Peachy set out the winch, Kaz has a new man every day, every cloud has a silver lining!  A test flight on the Falcon confirmed all good and off we went.  Wyn D was up and away nicely having now got onto the Falcon and rattled off his remain release flights before heading higher up the line.


Chris watches Wyns magic wand

Chris H after a good nights rest was a new man and showed us just how good his hip action could be and was soon floating across the field in fine style and putting in some lovely landings as well.  So it continued as the wind filled little by little and the temperature dropped.


On the ball and looking cool Chris gets it sussed

 By mid afternoon Kaz was seizing up despite Peachys best efforts and with things getting a little bouncier we called it a day.  Wyn is on the verge of high flights and Chris on release flights so a good day and both guys dealt with the turbulence fine.  Seven and eleven flights respectively can't be bad for a few hours work, i love teaching in small numbers :))


Batman and Robin - you choose .....
