Vintage Gliders Weekend & landing out (the walk of shame)

Flying the slope known locally as the Crest, at the Bwlch with a slight breeze of 4-6 mph. So landing out was always going to be a distinct possibility. And we did. Take a look at what happened.

This is soaring in slope! Some days is wonderful, but some days we come back with damages and tires legs haha
Congratulations, I like the video!

I really thought you were starting to climb up a little at one point. As you say, it's really hard from above. Happened to me once, but I was lucky that an experienced pilot coached me back. I was ready to put it down in a field and do a very long walk of shame, but he saved me from that. Looking forward to part 2 ☝

There is no way I'd be leaning over a cliff edge like that jesus

Hah… that magnificent discovery when you dreaded that a smashed pile of balsa was all that you would recover and then you discover thst it’s “all in one piece” and that all you have to do is shake the bugs off.

Well. The " walk of shame" belongs to the hobby. 😁👍

Where is this ridge? It’s beautiful. Do paraglider pilots ever fly there?

[@big-smoke-rc]

Technically still quite a long flight 😅
