Title: Devi's Dyke to Firle
Site:Devils Dyke
Pilot:Matt York
Date of flight:25th May 2015
Wing type:Paraglider
Flight details:
I wasn't enjoying flying at the Dyke - it seemed very lumpy and the tips of my glider didn't seem to want to stay inflated. I was aiming for the most obvious solution, to land at the bottom. 

Events seem to have given me a much better option - get away from the hill. The conditions were so much better. First time I'd got away by myself - no-one to pimp off. In some ways that helped - before I reached the top of the climbs I had to choose the next cloud to head for. Great thermal practice and a new (UK) XC personal best.

Roll on next time. Thanks to Stuart from the red ribbon club for the lift back to the Dyke.
