Four days in a row!

Thanks to a high pressure system and south-easterly winds we were at last to get some paragliding action.

Friday 24 March 2017

 Sunny day with light SE wind. Met Steve Bullers at Corr's and went paragliding training at Big Collin until 4:30pm. Phil Barron was also training and Dermot Lagan had a couple of flights. Alastair McMaster flew his paramotor before we left.

Saturday 25 March 2017

Warm sunny day with very light SE wind. I went paragliding training at Big Collin.  I took a flight and worked some buoyant bits of lift then landed by the windsock at the bottom. Phil Barron and Ken McConnell were out with students. Dermot Lagan was there but did not fly.Got Sam Cook (on a taster day) airborne. Also CPN students Richard Neill and Keith McGeown flew.  

Sunday 26 March 2017

Another sunny day. Very light winds in the morning. I went to Agnew's Hill but pilots already airborne were working hard to stay up. Spoke to Donal Hamilton who was about to climb the hill. I went to Big Collin and had a couple of flights while waiting for student Gerry Johnston to turn up. Gerry got one flight in increasing wind. It got too strong and gusty on top so we packed it in.

Monday 27 March 2017

No students and things to do at home today.Went flying at Big Collin with Dermot Lagan after 3pm. Managed three soaring flights in varying conditions. Wind at takeoff was varying between 12 and 19mph at times with small blobs of lift making staying up hard work. Managed one top landing, one slope landing and bottom landing by the windsock.
