Site:Newhaven Cliffs
Pilot:Vincent Talleu
Date of flight:12th December 2013
Wing type:Paraglider
Flight details:
I've done the brighton run before on the small wing and on windy days but that was easy to stay up so quite boring.

Today was really hard so I'm quite proud.

Here's a quote from Mark Watts:
"I tried to fly to Brighton as well but only got to the sewers and had to fly back (with tail between my legs). I believe Vincent is truly an amazing pilot"

Thanks Mark, I think so too!

Ahah only joking ;)

When I got to the marina there was so little lift after I turned round the wing was barely above the cliff. Still I somehow managed to make it back to Newhaven and top land like a pro.
In these circumstances having a red wing must certainly have helped.

Unfortunately I did not film this epic flight as my gopro has been confiscated by my lawyer.







...Oh yeah and after that I got bored so went to check for alternative bottom landings between Newhaven and Peacehaven.
Not ideal but good to practice spot landing.
