Day 403 - Long Mynd - Shropshire
30 08 2016
   
Bank Holiday Monday, West Wind, Sunshine = Long Mynd going to be heaving so I left it until later to turn up - 4:00pm actually.  Arriving at Take Off it was perfect so off I went for the best flight of the year for me in the UK, thermic, ridge soaring, restitution, it had everything.  Great flying with friends at long last only landing as the wind dropped but not after over 3hrs 30 minutes.

I didn't quite make it to Cloudbase, but very close and a great chance to test my new handles out over a periods of time, they work a treat.

This is how Paragliding should always be :-)














There is a Google Earth Tracklog of the flight available here
