Firle - The Rough Bits
It's been quite a while since I last flew the hang glider; the last year can simply be described as crazy times! After almost a year since I last flew, I was grateful to finally get the wing out and into the sky! It certainly wasn't ideal conditions and being very rusty, was probably one the hardest flights I've had in a while, but nevertheless, great to get out again! Here's the highlights of my 30 minute 'rough' flight at Firle in East Sussex, UK. Big thanks to John for getting the nose when that gust came through at the start and great to see a new fledgling pilot on the hill too - we need to see more of them! - Stay Safe, Fly Safe!

Famara
Video highlights of my flight from Famara and the famous Famara Cliffs. Unfortunately the battery on the camera did not last for the entire flight and missed my awful landing which resulted in two damaged uprights but it was worth it, this was a flight like no other that I have had to date!

An Early Flight
An early flight at the Devil's Dyke with friends. This short video captures the highlights of my 30 minute flight at the Devil's Dyke. I opted for an early flight as the wind was forecast to drop off and I assumed many paragliders would be airborne later in the day. This was my strategy to avoid flying with the crowds. Also, you may notice a new camera on the right upright. This is the SJ4000 and it was set to take a photograph every 20 seconds. It produced some pleasing results! Not bad for a cheap camera!

Devil's Dyke
Finally, my first flight of 2017. This is my video highlights of my 39 minute flight at the Devil's Dyke. It wasn't quite the epic everyone had hoped for, but a lovely day soaring with Buzzards, Kestrels and friends - looking forward to many more days like this to follow!

To The Clouds and Beyond
My memorable flight at Bo Peep where I finally reached cloud base, had my longest flight to date and completed a small XC. The only negative : the video camera battery didn't catch the most interesting part at the end!
