Oh what a perfect day :)

Well things have been a little on the busy side of late and whilst we have been out having fun and training time to write blogs has alluded us but we will try to make up and today was just one of those days you have to write about.

With a couple of Tandems on the cards the chosen site was Sennen Cove upon a light to moderate NNW forecast.  One Tandem rings in and decides it too far to drive from Perranporth so it's only one now, still more flying time for us :))

9.30 on site wind smack on and breezier than forecast so off with the hangies and lets get rigged.  Kaz rigged, tandem rigged and Phippsy's rigged, lets go flying.  Kaz pops in a super flight to test the air and I am not far behind her soaking up the sea air and beating up the ridge with the vb full on and the wires whistling.  Another car arrives in the car park and the Tandem passenger is on site, in to land swap gliders and it's time to fly again.


Playtime

Graham who is down on holiday and had the flight as a gift is well up for it and after a few paces we are off and away.  With the sea just an amazing colour we soared over the cove mixing it with the seagulls and loving the views, they never fail to impress.  With no one else to take up we had a good long flight before swooping in for a nice smooth landing back in the car park  which was still nice and clear.  Big smile from Graham and with a full SD card out of the GoPro he should have a some memories to share.


Graham, Steve and Bella have a super day out


Toys to be played with

Kaz has introduced Phil to the Zero and after a bit of ground handling he takes off for his first flight on a mini wing.  To be fair it did take a little while for Phil


Peachy on his Zero

to get the hang of it but he had a fun flight on a day when otherwise he would have been grounded.  Kaz popped up on it next closely followed by Peachy on his Zero, fun for all.


Classic Sennen

The rest of the day was spent hooning around and when Kaz and Peachy went for a swim I had the whole ridge to myself which meant Big time Playtime, just super. won't go on about it anymore but you get the gist ;))

Quote of the day " that was quite exhilarating "
