| Flight details: | As rough as I have had it,on a paraglider,strong wind and strong thermals,had a collapse but no worse than pulling a big ear. 4-30pm I climbed up to 4,500ft,15min glide to Falmer,2-30 hours to get back,just as I was coming in to land, by the bus stop on the A27 I got a small thermal, didn`t get more than 600ft but it took me right into the boonies I couldn`t have been further from civilization.It turned out to be a very good day,with 6 flights and 3-30 hours flying. |
