A promising forecast. Thermals and light southerly breeze meant I sorted out a day off. School sports day in the morning. Paragliding in the afternoon. Sounded like a plan.
Where and when we've been flying
A promising forecast. Thermals and light southerly breeze meant I sorted out a day off. School sports day in the morning. Paragliding in the afternoon. Sounded like a plan.
The forecast was promising a southerly breeze in the evening so i jumped int he car and headed up to see where might be flyable.
The last month has been pretty pants weather wise. Thursday evening looked like there might be a chance for some flying as / when the wind dropped.
Parts of the country had a bit of a sea breeze but there was no sign of it (?) so we headed to Witchieknowe.
Managed a ttb at Broughton before 10am which was smooth. Needed it to check my new Advance Progress 2 harness was set up well. Loved it.
After being convinced to brave a fairly dubious weather forecast, I headed down to Buttermere in Cumbria for the Lakes Charity Classic.
Gerald was already there, installed beside the Pennine boys and Chris Booth.
