Hey up,
Bin my fav hg clip for a while plus I like the killers. I drove to Anglesey last weekend and reckon I spotted the TO and the LZ (gorse bush :o) ) from the dual carriageway. Always fancied hg but haven't got further than pg. Laziness I guess. Fly in the pennines and also Algo and Morocco. Hoping to venture into north wales this summer and into hg in the coming years. Cheers.

you have bottle,it must be great up there.what height was you.and what is the highest you can go

No fella, you cant see the thermals per se, but there are visual clues. Such as certain cloud formations, direction of wind and wind speed etc. Also birds can often be found thermalling, so you can tell where thermals are by looking for those signs, not to mention that sometimes long grass can give clues as to thermic activity by the way it gets blown about. The vario is a handy tool, gives you details of your rate of acscent or descent in hundreds of feet per min.

You know....it's at least a year now after I first saw your video. It is still one of my favorites out there. Just awesome! I'm now a Hang 2 and I'm getting there. This video is very inspiring....just brilliant...Be safe! Udo ..... "Hanging with Udo" on YouTube....

Thanks for the kind comments. Shame about the landing eh? I recently flew the same site on a Moyes Malibu Skyfloater and landed across the slope and did a proper 'no-stepper'. Hope you enjoy your hanggliding journey. Pete

err wheres the rest of your keel? what glider is this by the way?
FCbisleybob 2 years ago
The keel is removeable for power (see my other videos). It's a Wills Wing Eagle 164, the Eagle is supplied with a keel mounted Fin, though I've never flown with it fitted. Pete

To stay up a glider needs to be in air that is ascending at the same vertical speed that it is sinking through the air (eg a glider loses 200ft per minute, so must be in rising air going up 200ft per min to maintain height, to climb (ascend) the air must be rising faster (wind blowing up a windward hill or cliff, or in a thermal)). Sorry for the long answer, Pete
