| Flight details: | What a day. After getting over 2,000ft before 9.30am and having a good second flight, I thought the day was over. No-one seemed to be able to stay up.
So, after taking my balaclava off, putting my winter gloves away in a pocket and accidentally disconnecting one side of the speed bar (bloody brummel hooks!) I thought I'd try once more. I'll let the photos speak for themselves, but it was a fantastic flight.
I was enjoying thermalling my new wing (Skywalk Tequila 4) so much that I didn't think about where thermals go to, so I ended up in the white room for a few seconds. What a buzz, especially since Greg and Vincent on tandem were thermalling with me. I had no idea where they'd gone.
Lessons from today: 1, always always dress for cloud base (fingers have just regained feeling), 2, pimp off whoever is doing well (thanks Greg), 3, sort out the Brummel hooks.
Thanks to Paul and Boris for coming to get me. |
