Paragliding Broughton 17th Dec


It has been some time since I last posted here so :-

Last Sunday the 17th December, after doing some shopping I eventually drove down to Broughton .
I arrived at about 2pm - and then walked up to the very top - only to see everyone else flying past and homeward!.
I also met Cliff who was taking the quad bike down and had also had a bad day having written off his car on route to the hill on black ice earlier in the day - he was OK though.
I then filmed Brian Steele and 2 other pilots fly past me before setting up myself. The 12Mb video should be available here. Right click and save as to your computer.
My flight was mega smooth and just a slightly extended ttb of a few minutes. I reverse launched and landed near the end of the track -nice but my first flight for too long.

Other news - at Clare Florist - work seems to be going well and yesterday my role was increased along with the number of hours I work starting in January.

Christmas - for me it really starts 23rd Dec with dinner with all the family at Susans and then again when I cook on Monday at Mum and Dads. I am looking forward to it immensely.

Have a lovely Christmas.
