Wind on Big Collin takeoff was gusting 26-32mph and around 15-20mph at times in the bottom landing area. There was no point in bringing out my CP students who are at the soaring stage - far too strong for any paragliding.
Meanwhile Ken McConnell was out with two EP students, Stephen and Frank, who were manfully attempting ground handling but the gusts were proving a bit of a problem. I gave Ken my small Firebird Trainer wing which is more manageable for ground handling when it's windy and Stephen had a go, but eventually had to give up when the gusts became too great, even lifting Ken off his feet when he took a turn on it.
