Happy floating about, playing in the thermals. Great views over the Dales and enjoyed getting some height. Just over 1,000 metres.
Dodd Fell. Trying to avoid a long walk from the bottom

Second flight of the day. Very light so trying to avoid landing at the bottom so scratched along trying to make it back.

Frustrating couple of flights. I had high hopes but got nothing out of it. Anything constructive here what I could have done differently?

Nice day although by the time I arrived, the clouds had gone and the wind had picked up a bit. Still, good experience playing in some thermals trying to get a bit of height.
Lake Annecy, a paragliding adventure.

My POV of flying around Lake Annecy August 2024. I'm a low airtime pilot but blown away by the spectacular landscape and flying conditions there. It is quite beginner friendly as long as you are sensible and check the conditions match your ability.

Overcast, the odd spot of rain but very light and enough, just, to stay up.

Floating about over Tailbridge. Experiencing my first thermals and working out how to handle them. Couple of dodgy top landings but learning loads and slowly getting there.

Another one from the LCC '24 weekend. A bit breezy again and some fun conditions until it just dissappeared and sank back to the camp site.

Coaching day at the LCC 2024. Quite gusty on launch and forecast to increase. Nice play in some thermals and got a bit of height at last.

Between the showers. Early evening just as the wind had dropped a bit.

Walking up Parlick 3 times in one morning. More mistakes but learned loads again.

Cow Close Fell yesterday. Frustrating start sorting lines out. Then had a couple of nice flights but still having a bit of a struggle getting out of the harness for landing. I think it's just a confidence thing.

Parlick, west facing. Nice spring late afternoon after the wind dropped. Chest strap this time but annoyingly in the way. Still a good 1 hour 8 minute flight.
Beautiful👍
Hihiìii
Looks great 👍
Looked like a spot of thermalling too?
Looks like a long sweaty walk up.
@@markbooth6471 Yeah it’s about a 20 min walk up. Not unpleasant though!
Looked like a great day.
What camera do you film with Chris?
Hi Emma, it’s a GoPro10. Shot at 1080p with the stability set to medium.
@@christimson thanks Chris, looked a good day 😊
Amazing views!
I feel your pain with the lines. Next time you're on Baildon, remind me, can show you some techniques to very quickly sort out lines
Cheers, yes got really mad with myself as I'm now leaving the harness connected to the wing which I thought would make things easier. Just too hasty to get in the air.
Parlick was better yesterday, not brilliant but better than this. Came out sunny and soarable but a bit on and off. Tweak that sink tone on your skytraxx, it's depressing! What's it set to? Lets say you sink in still air at 1.2 m/s, you want to know when you're in sinking air so you set the sink alarm to 1.2 m/s and theoretically it only sounds when the air is sinking and not in calm air. In real life it's a horrible sound and gives me a fear of impending doom so I've set mine to 1.8 m/s, I know I'm going down I only want to know if I'm in properly going down sinking air!
Thanks James! Yes that's probably what put me in a bad mood after that. 🤪
Falling with style!
Not much style with my landing...
Is this yours?
