Flight details
Title: A Flop
Site:Mount Caburn
Pilot:David Nickels
Date of flight:20th August 2012
Wing type:Paraglider
Flight details:
With it being very cloudy on top and what seemed to be an increasing wind I only flew for a very short time before flying down, but on reflection decided the cloud would lift at some point and with luck the wind strength would get no worse so walked back up again.
The cloud slowly lifted and gave a few hours of flying.
I took my last climb back over the hill to the point of no return, (with it being on the strong side) in the hope that I could keep in it but flopped down a few fields away.
I feel the best was still to come but hey.
