| Flight details: | Launched, conditions were bang-on again and pretty fool-proof, so did cliff run to Brighton Marina three times just for the hell of it. As tide went out further and further, thermals were coming up off the beach. Nose was red and hands were white and blue with cold when I landed. How patriotic is that? EDIT Just corrected the start and finish points so I didn't appear to have taken off and landed 1500 metres off the south coast. I got east confused with west. EDIT |
