Flight details: | With the great and the good of the paragliding world at Milk yesterday clocking up some big distances at least I knew I was on the right hill. Quick chat with Vincent and we both declared the same goal at about 190 km or something silly. Didn't quite make it but for my efforts I managed 54 km in quite rough conditions....at least I thought it was and more than one low save made it hard work. Given the flight took 2 hours 40 for only 54 km when the week before I only took 3 hours for over 100k it was slow going. I landed on the playing fields of some posh prep school during cricket lessons. They were very polite and even helped me find the local bus into Oxford, after escorting me off the playing field due to child protection issues....I did get a round of applause from the kids though. |
