Truleigh to Devils Dyke Paragliding Ridge Run

My first ever Truleigh run! I'm now on 9.5 hours, only half hour to go until I lose my red ribbon. After a murky start where it was pretty strong at time, the wind dropped slightly and Simon, Alasdair and I headed off from the comfort of the Dyke down the ridge. My first time ever leaving a site so I was nervous about landing out. Going over the power lines was pretty scary, you could hear them buzzing.

Not as fast or exciting as EnVeeTee's run but the wind speed was higher so we had to crab down the ridge more. Thank you for inspiring us to head to Truleigh, we had a great days flying!

Coming out well Richard, seems like height is better on the way back, you did well on that old glider, your brake pressure is a little relaxed, so I fly more out front, good luck with Nepal. When you get back you be hours up and ready for Tandem Fast Track
