Sand Blast!

Had a blast on the beach at Benone on Northern Ireland's north coast yesterday on the X-Sail. Miles of hard sand and a stiff breeze. Brilliant!

Surprise!

Weather not looking promising but took student to Dungiven for site assessment and theory revision. Surprise! - wind was only slightly off so student got a 600ft top to bottom flight with perfect takeoff, excellent flight and standup landing. Then it rained!!!

Progress!

Had two good days' getting people airborne on paragliders. Initial frustration that the wings wouldn't respond to brute force was soon overcome and all had successful low flights by the end of each day.
Joined on Saturday by local club fliers whose expertise was an incentive to the students. Hoping for more flying tomorrow.
