Winching at South Cerney
For a moment, nothing happened, then the sound of the towline as it slid across the grass as it became taught and began to pull me forward. I began to run as the glider lifted above me then pulled in a little and ran faster before I could no longer keep up. It didn’t matter, as my feet had left the ground and I began to rocket upward.

MFX067 Steep Wood
The picturesque Steep Wood is located deep in the West Sussex countryside and in the early morning, the air is filled with musical bird song as they start their days and begin going about their business. This track was originally composed in the 1990s with the intent to be used on a Commodore 64 game that I was programming but never finished.

Woolacombe
The descent was lovely and smooth right up to the last 20 feet where the glider began to be tossed around then was suddenly dumped towards the ground unexpectedly. I flared as best as I could to lessen the impact but in doing so, I was unable to get my feet under me and with a gentle belly flop into a cushion of long hilltop grass, I had landed.

Firle Flying
With paragliders arriving, I was keen to get up into the air before it became too busy. Without too much faff, I managed to rig and prepare myself for flight. No-one else seemed too enthusiastic to fly; I suspect I was going to be wind dummy…

With John under my right wing, things looked good for launch. It was at that moment a sudden gust ripped through launch. I didn't need to ask John for assistance, he simply leaped from his perch and held the nose of the glider…
