Hugh When I was younger I flew,without a chute,,because I couldnt afford one for the first year,,,am I right thinking you aint got one on that stirrup?
No reserve Tony. 95% of the time I’m below 100’ so a parachute would be no use at all. Love the simplicity of a stirrup harness a glider and no instruments. The go pro is a faff but I like having a record of these great days out!
Mate you really put your Malibu 2 to it's paces. And I don't know how you run that small Cornish the whole length in other videos as it hardly has an height
Hi mate, I live in the local area and want to get into Hang Gliding but there are no schools I can find in Wales- what do you suggest, buy an old wing and teach myself on the sand dunes? I’d appreciate your feedback, cheers
@@noahjones5150 hi there Noah, I’m afraid there are only a couple of schools left in the UK and they are on the South East. The best solution is to spend a week at a flying school in Spain with an English company or go to learn in Florida. Both have great consistent training weather which has always been a struggle in the UK. Buying glider and teaching yourself is not recommended; you have a very high chance of hurting yourself or even somebody else and won’t be insured unless you go through the BHPA training mill. Sorry I can’t be more helpful!
Looks lovely. Are Moyes gliders inexpensive in the U.K. compared to other gliders like Aeros etc? I'm thinking your exchange rate compared to the Aussie dollar must help? The shipping would be a killer? Can you get the excellent Airborne gliders in the U.K.?
Hi Shannon All glider brands are pretty much the same price range in the UK. Shipping is expensive especially since leaving the EU. Not sure about Airbourne dealer but have seen some of their gliders here so guess there is!
Fascinating video! I will always regret not taking up hang gliding,and as a senior,it is probably too late for me. Is hang gliding physically demanding once you are at altitude?
Thanks Mike It is a bit physical especially in rougher air. Rhossili being a coastal site has smooth air off the sea. Very relaxing! Thermal flying can get very rough at times; I’m 60 now and find it quite tiring! There are some chaps still flying in their 70s and they do really well
Lovely fun flight - my favourite place to fly (when I used to fly)
Thank you!
Perfect landing.
Some nice wangin there mate , cool looking site 👌👍
Fort Funston of Wales 😎

@@huwparsons4069 Thanks! I was curious. Flying in the UK must be so different than flying here in Australia!
