Paragliding and Hang gliding by some brave souls at Devil's Dyke, Sussex.
Music by Pearly Lookin' Necklace.

If you were at Devil's Dyke on this day, 7th June 2008, and would like to shed some light on what happened, please feel free to comment.
And if you are the "guy" in this vid...hope your ok.

I went out to Devil's Dyke with the intention of photographing the landscape, flowers and the spot where I used to live with a bunch of long-haired traveler types.

These folks were much more interesting..

Hats off to 'em..

Looks to me like it may be Mark Watts playing 'Wagga' but I agree to the casual bystander it looks like trouble. It's something I don't think pilots should be doing at such a site as there's a lot of beenners who see this stuff and thnk anyone can do it. I've seen people killed at the Dyke and yes I have flown there over 10 years

I've been hooked for over 12 years.

It's a great sport!

I'm not sure if it's Mark but he's a world class competitions pilot and there are several members of the Southern Club who compete world wide but yes I totally agree with you.

It's a superb sport I've been addicted to it for a long time now but obviously it can be dangerous though not as dangerous as people think or make it out to be. This video has been edited quite a bit especially at the end

It isn't wise to be doing manuevers close to the ground.

beenners = a typo for beginners Sorry about that.

Fly safe
