Blacknowehead 11th June 2015
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.
Bob Matthews, Graham Tydeman, Johni & myself headed off to Burger Van hill (Known correctly as Creag Each). Must admit there were conflicting website weather forecasts as to which direction the met wind was Bob believing it was NW and myself feeling it was more to the North.
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.
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.
