Flight details: | Got a lift from Rob this morning, planning a massive XC :)
Lovely day, so much lift early in the day, everybody getting really high; except me :(
Later on it got really punchy with massive sink between thermals, I got really low over the trees chasing lift and didn't manage to get back up, landed by the wheat field, mushroomed up and quickly walked back to the slope through a secret shortcut, when I got to kiting height, 2 hangies were thermalling right above me, I kited as high as I could and then my wing started to fly!
Carlo joined to show me how it's done, it was great help as he kept pushing upwind longer than I usually would, forcing me to stay in the best bits!
I then happily managed to get away from the hill!
Such a relief, as I was dreading having to take the bus from the dyke back home, tail between my legs!
Also amazed that less than 5 minutes ago I had landed at the bottom, thank god I didn't pack the wing ;)
I got really high, almost in the clouds over brighton, tried to push back inland as the clouds kind of looked like a seabreeze front?
Found lift over Asda thanks to a few seagulls and swifts but quickly lost it, later over Falmer found another thermal but lost it again, so frustrating, as soon as I went out of the thermal it was nowhere to be found!!!
But then, a short walk and I was home, no getting back to the hill and all the bullshit, what a legend :D
Thanks Luke for showing the thermal and sorry for getting on your way you big fat hangie :p
Sorry all the losers who stayed on the hill or went to work, eheheheh :)
ps: Flying rocks! |
