The short walk in Long Mynd was one of the best expeperience in my life. And by the plane, as you did, it must be amazing! It's really beutiful there, the green hills, soft grass, sheeps....
True about DEV,but I also did it in Simons old LS4. The K6 was great on weak ridge days when it was necessary to S turn in gully thermals to gain height for a circuit and landing. Happy days which I often remember foundly.
That reminds me, i must go back and fly again, the best feeling i've ever had

Excellent video, I am very jealous that you guys don't have to worry about the 500ft rule! Maybe I ought to get up to the club house sometime!

Where is this location and what are soaring conditions like (aside from the obvious in the video)? This is a grat video.
I'm a soaring pilot in Vermont, USA. We get cracking thermals, ridge, and wave here.

I used to run the ridge at every opportunity.
This video brings it all back to me.
Well done. Gordon Kerr
