Date of flight:29th June 2013
Wing type:Paraglider
Flight details:
Struggled to get up through the stiffy and floppy throng then managed to hop from cloud to cloud for a bit. Thermalled with three hangies plus Tefal for about a minute. Tefal went west and I went north for a while. Lost height so raced to Newtimber for a climb. I noticed Greg below ridge height at Newtimber; he entered a rough-looking thermal. "I can do that", I thought, over-optimistically. Greg disappeared eastwards and skywards as the thermal shot me up and spat me out unceremoniously four times. Landed on top of Newtimber near some small, black cows who were hiding in a thick hedge.
