Date of flight:20th March 2015
Wing type:Paraglider
Flight details:
My first flight since my hip operation was a pleasant one, making up for the disappointment of the invisible eclipse. On first inflating my wing I fell on to my backside and found myself unable to stand up again, but managed to fly the wing until it lifted me on to my feet. It was easy to go past the trig point, although I dared not cross the wood to the Firle take-off on my Ultralite.

Later it got thermic and lots of people had fun -- I managed a few more brief excursions into the air.
