Thank-you Eugene, maybe a little risky, top end conditions on a potentially dangerous site - always a bit scary pulling the wing up after a longish lay-off but i always feel fine as soon as i leave the ground! you should come and fly here sometime :)
Thank-you! Unsafe flying has cost me so much air-time (and pain) and made ground-handling so much more challenging that i've had to change my approach to sailing the sky (can't deny it was immense fun, but is it really worth it?) FLY SAFE EVERYONE!
Well done mate, that took balls! It definitely looked lifty, loved the "pick-me-up" take off. You must have been thinking..... shiiiiiiiittttttt!!! It would be a pleasure to fly with you one day.
The launch took me sideways with a strong swing, Steve filming, paniced and lowered the camera missing the worst bit and picked me up just as i'd regained control! I flew doing my best to avoid the lift and get back down asap! The real problem is, i enjoyed it :-) thanx 4 the comment - see u on the bwlch (nantymoel)
It felt good but was terrifying, the wind was close to getting nasty and i was glad to get down in one piece - modern paragliders can be controlled very precisely once one has aquired the understanding and basic skills - thanks for the comment

The wind... she teases you first, then she lifts you up... bet it felt good to be back! Your indomitable spirit is refreshing. :)
I didn't realize how much control one could have with these... beautiful flight.
