    Thanks for sharing this and not putting some lame horrible lift music all over the top of it, nice to just hear a bit of commentary and enjoy the flight.

    Absolutely gorgeous! I'm always fascinated by the flying in the British Isles, the low clouds, the ready thermals, the spectacular patchwork topography, and the abundance of pilots! Very envious of the grassy launches and landings.
    My Labor Day flycation in Colorado was spoiled by a twisted ankle landing on my 1st flight on day one. Hit some sink about 10 feet up. I've pounded in much harder many times before, but for some reason my right ankle buckled despite my Hanwag paragliding boots, which undoubtedly saved me from worse injury. Not looking forward to weeks of recovery.

      We are lucky with the beauty of the UK, plus being so close to the Alps and Spain.
      Oh no what a pain for you. It’s such a fine line sometimes but you’ll hopefully recover soon. I hope you weren’t on a remote launch on your own and could hobble to the car. Get well soon.

      @@MikeJTPG There were a few pilots about. I was 100 feet from a road and about a mile from my car. I caught a ride after an hour of waiting.

    Question. What size harness do you have. I'm 183 cm and 76 kg . Thanks Mike for your help. Love the videos. Especially piedrahita.

      Medium mate. I’m the same weight but 11cm shorter. There are a few more options out now if you’re looking for vol biv.
      Thanks. I’ve a couple more Piedrahita vids from July I need to edit.
