Site:Devils Dyke
Pilot:Mike Aungier
Date of flight:16th July 2008
Wing type:Paraglider
Flight details:
Got lucky with a strong thermal all to myself. Took it to ~700m and floated in it as it turned slowly to a zero.  Then, a -1, then -2  Hmmm.  Widened my circles, but everywhere is going down.  Tried to glide to the next cloud but no chance.  Got drilled. Didn't even make ASDA.

But got lucky once again: Tefal had seen me coming in whilst he was driving home on A27 and the little darling was waiting for me as a packed up.  No taxi need this time :-)

Now that's club spirit!  BIG thanks Paul.
