| Comments | :: | Drove down on the motorbike (saving fuel!) and arrived at 14:00 and flew till 19:00, what a fantastic day! Saw three other paragliders landing South of Swindon so I guess Golden Ball was working. The day started very punchy but settled down and the thermals coming off of the wheat field in front were big and booming. Never really got enough height to get away but managed to get a lot of height above take off and the whole ridge was working, from the power lines to right over the pathway and beyond. My only disappointment was that I was alone all day, I thought maybe a few members may turn up after work. Never mind, I didn't have to worry about doing the "paraglider dance." On the way back home it seemed the whole flying community was out to play. Lots of parachutists over Swindon, microlights by the score and then of course the balloons. |
