Went flying today05/11/2008 10:12 PM Paragliding
Talk about an incredible day...!!!
One of the guys I fly with convinced me to make the 3 hours drive to Stanwell Park today... and man was it worth it. We took off from launch around midday and I flew until 3pm.. it was incredible.
The folks at Stanwell are awesome, the duty officer was happy to spend time walking me through the site and even helping me get off the launch. (Thanks Ant)
I spent the afternoon practising turns, big ears, speed bar and just generally playing around and getting the feel of the wing, 3 hours gave me plenty of time to start working on the designs for a airborne latrine.. cause let me tell you... after drinking 2.5L of water on the drive up and then 3 hours in the air... i REALLY needed it.. lol
Oh and I have to say, Stanwell Park is gorgeous... tucked away in a valley, nice bearch, awesome scenery... LOVE IT..!
