Site:Bo Peep

Date of flight:8th June 2008
Wing type:Paraglider
Flight details:
I've done so much flying this past week, that I've quite forgotten what happened this day, except that after getting high and deciding that the sea breeze would come in shortly, I just kept climbing until I met the convergence clouds. A short trip along them had me in cloud, with the ground just visible beneath. Trouble was, it was so misty that I couldn't make out the convergence line, and popped into the sea air, and glided off to Newhaven. Some sea gulls lied about the lift they were in, and ended up over the dead ccentre of Newhaven (the cemetery- sorry, old joke) and landed soon after. That's the 5th XC in 5 days n my new glider - I must start making them longer...
