Paragliding - Gliding: Shennington

The kids bought me a glider tow for my birthday, and today is the first day since then that I've been able to use it, and what a day. Flew for about an hour, but could have gone on all afternoon given the amount of thermal activity. Amazing to be overtaken going upwards by a couple of buzzards who were showing the five gliders in the stack what height gain was all about. I took the stick for about half of the flight, and I think I now know what to do when I get a bit old for all this racing about on boards and bikes.
