Ruffling my feathers


I can fly.
It had been a few months and the doubts had started to creep in 
but after a few minutes in the air.....
I felt at home.

I felt the wing moving, being pulled by the thermals,
saw the view opening up as I climbed out......
to the sea and skyscrapers of the Gold Coast
and the paddocks and hills around Canungra.

I was in a competition.
I wasn't so competitive.
I know that I will be again sometime
when this phase of life moves into another
and the time and place is right.

I can still fly
its a good feeling.

Thank you Arthur and Jason for looking after the small people so well 
and allowing me to have that time for myself.

Scottish Sky Day

A beautiful day in the Highlands
Snowy peaks, bright sunshine and fluffy clouds.
It felt like the Alps but all the more brilliant for being Scotland.

The rest of the paragliding world came to see us....
....or we all knew where to go.

Caught up with friends, who generously loaned wings, thanks Tim.
Back in the British flying scene....
for one truly memorable day.




Up we go

Arthur in the air!
