A day of two halves

As the "heat wave" continues ??? the forecast is good with the chance of an odd shower clearing quickly and mainly in the east so we head to the field..

Steve B is back on the Hangy along with James R and Glen C both on Paragliders return to continue their training.  Everyone gets set up as the skies darken,  just about to set out the winch and a few spots of rain but not for long, that will be the odd shower then.  Out with the winch and in with a test flight, all good.  James get going and is off to the top to settle back in and is followed by Glen on a low level release flight.

Steve ready to go

and looking good

Wind starts to move we move , wind moves rain starts we do theory,  sky looks a black as your hat!  We chat, James takes an exam, sun comes out and in a matter of minutes we have blue sky and nice cumulus. Glen drops his trousers ....................

Wind "settles" into a NE 180 degrees from the forecast and we get towing.  James and Glen progress with their flying and Steve gets the hangy airborne.  Wind moves, we move, i test the air and it is lively as convergence sets up over us, I test the air a bit more ;)

Sound comes out and the sky gets good

Lift drops off, wind moves, we are back where we started but at least it is what was forecast finally.  things get moving with the guys all getting plenty of flying in and Steve sorting his landings, nice.  James rounds off the day with a stunning flight and a Big smile as he soaks in the view.

Glen ready to play

and play he did

 Shame the day dragged on a bit but hey ho there you go, well done to the guys and don't you just love this low numbers teaching, things really get done, heres to the next time.

Quote of the day "Nooooooooo to much information"
