Marcle Ridge 16/05/10

Got there at 4pm - blowing about 12mph at the top. Scratchy lift for an hour up to 50ft over the woods with the buzzards intent on mobbing small crows but unconcerned by a 23sq m paraglider! Wind dropped at 5:30pm and with lots of nice clouds and thermals cycling through - caught one over the brown field below the ridge upto 500ft ato then landed. Played with my Spiruline 16m speed wing but nowhere near strong enough for that. Paid a fiver to the farmer (its been 2 quid for how many years?)

PLEASE NOTE: THE FARMER HAS SOMEONE'S MISSING HELMET - PLEASE CONTACT THE FARMHOUSE TO IDENTIFY IT IF IT'S YOURS.
