Light wind fun!

Went to Agnew's Hill initially with taster student Pete Stevenson. Ken McC was already there with a student ground handling as the wind was well off to the NW. We then went on to Skeagh where the 5mph variable wind was mostly N backing NNW at times. After the usual preliminaries and some practice with forward and reverse launches, Pete ended up with excellent flights progressing to the top of the hill and getting in corrective turns to a stand up landing every time. Wind later increased to 14mph backing NW and then dropped.

Now we have another keen enthusiast raring to start a course. Coming from a background of kitesurfing and diving he is fully prepared for the inevitable parawaiting!
