  • This shows my first four top landings with a hang glider.
    The location for the first three is Selsley Common in Gloucestershire and the last one in at Rhossili in South Wales two weeks later. The glider is a Clubman.
    Thanks go to Trigger, Alec, Huw and Pete for explanations, demonstrations and encouragement.
    And thanks to Justin for the cover photograph.

    Nice video! Awesome you started Hanggliding 👍 Please get a cam with image-stabilization and let us read your comments just for a second longer 😄

      Thanks a lot for the comment and encouragement. I’m hoping to get a camera with better stabilisation soon - the one I have at the moment is a 10-year old Go-Pro. I’ll also try to make the comments show for a bit longer on any future videos.

    I had a clubman 160 a long time ago. It was easier to carry up a mountain than the others. I spent a lot of time at Rhossilli too.

      Yes, I love mine. She’s very light and seems to handle and fly very easily. I’ve actually called her Charlotte :)

    Great to see. How long was the training?

      This is all post-training experience. The main training was about two weeks in Spain and then just needed one more “soaring” flight to get my CP. After that it’s just been steadily building experience, going out around every two weeks - generally limited by family duties :)
