4 of us grabbed a quick flight at the start of the day. The wind was just picking up to flyable strength as we arrived around 9am and by 9:45am everyone landed with the wind getting too strong and then the the rain arriving later on!

Bratton 2024-06-18

Fantastic day with several pilots out flying Bratton on Tuesday. Conditions were switching on and off a little in the morning and then the strongest part of the day saw some punchy thermals and strong headwind at height so several of us landed and waited for it to calm down. I managed around 3 hours in the air though and a couple of climbs to 1600ft above launch :-)
My first Dragon Hike & Fly 2024-05-11
Переглядів 3185 місяців тому
This year I entered the Dragon Hike & Fly event for the first time, despite having no previous hike and fly experience and not owning any lightweight paragliding equipment so carrying my full weight kit plus 3 litres of water! My good friend Mark offered to act as my supporter for the Saturday and was able to resupply me with water and lunch early afternoon at the Sugarloaf NT car park. Mark me...
Windy day at Westbury - cobra launch practice!

A massive thanks to Tim Carr for taking the time on a lovely flyable day to coach me on how to do a cobra launch, a skill I've never managed to get to grips with before. Once again I'm impressed by the fantastic coaches we have in the Avon club - please do approach them if like me you need to brush up on some skills!

Had a fantastic time out with Flyeo 24th - 26th April 2023. Learned so much about wing control - cannot recommend them highly enough! Thanks to my son Sam for editing and music choice :-)

Pandy ridge run 2023-03-02
Переглядів 112Рік тому
My first time doing the ridge run at Pandy :-) Took off from Hatterrall Hill in some fairly strong winds but once I used speedbar to push out in front of the ridge I had a lovely soar up towards the Cat's Back (didn't make the jump) and back down to Pandy again. Plenty of thermals around taking me up to 2300ft and only had to land as my hands were frozen after an hour-and-a-half in the air!

Several of us waited on the hill in thick fog for almost 3 hours and almost gave up! Then the cloud lifted, the sun came out and we were rewarded with some gentle thermals making a few flights possible in the light wind conditions :-)

Really enjoyed that thermal! So that was you, me, Cass and one other. Spotted 3 blue Rooks out yesterday - tempted by one myself! 😆
