Flying Diary
Devils Dyke
Saturday 17 September 2005 Flight 2
The Devils Dyke, my favourite flying spot when it's not over crowded, which sadly isn’t that often!
After my earlier flight I was determined to stay up for longer this time, especially after the ribbing I got from Kevin! After watching another hang glider launch I decided that if I waited any longer the conditions would further weaken.
The flight was pretty much a replay of my earlier flight but this time I made the most of every little bit of lift being presented, slowly turning the glider each time I felt a wing lift. Still, that said, I ended up in the bottom landing field – just about in one piece (I flared too early and ended up going up much higher than I intended, parachuting nicely down – that’s why I like my glider, it’s very forgiving!).
Anyway, the bottom landing field seemed to be the place to be as I was joined by two others pilots that had also failed to maintain altitude in the weakening flying conditions.
