| Flight details: | Really amazing day, Steve, Simon, Greg, etc all talking about seabreeze hitting the hill in any second. I can't see anything really, but Simon takes off, goes up, Greg too, so off I go. BAM we're all at cloud base, in seabreeze convergence, 4000feet, clouds all over the place. Amazing! Damn we are so lucky!!!! Worst part of the day was walking for 30mn under the sun hitchiking, but nobody would stop, I was getting very upset... Finally an ex-hanglider pilot gave me a lift all the way to the car park! |
