Some fantastic photos taken by a fellow flying friend Phil on the ground shortly after beginning my second flight from #stanageedge on saturday last. A little while after this I found a booming thermal and took it straight to base at nearly 6000 ft and went off on my 40km journey on the Rise 4 #thermalmonkey. It was such a great flight, filled with strong booming lift, gentle rising bubbles above towns and incredible views flying high above a Cessna, Islander and sail plane while far above Sheffield and Rotherham. I’ll be posting helmet cam photos and videos from this flight for a while I think haha. I think this year I am going to make some real XC progression and development, I need to build my thermalling efficiency and relax more in flight, next goal 50km 🥳. @crickhowellparagliding @airdesignparagliders #flightmonkey #crickhowellparagliding #paragliding #parapente #airdesign #airdesigngliders #borntofly #soaring #ownthemoment #thatsky #clouds #paraglider #paraglideuk #paraglidinglove #paraglidinglife #paraglidingworld #paraglidingphotography #paraglidingforever #freeflight #freeflying #flyfree #dowhatyouloveanddoithard #flighttraining #flyinghigh #bigdayout #adventuretime #flywithme #peakdistrictnationalpark (at Stanage Edge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP1BVM1nNVL/?utm_medium=tumblr

A bit of #tinkering on the @miniplane_uk @miniplane_paramotors #top80. It was a good learning session if nothing else. Didnt fix the issue but i still got lots out of it, and the carb is nice and clean and shiny now at least! #flightmonkey #enginetrouble #paramotoring #miniplane #workshop #carburetor #fixit #learning #engineering #2stroke #alwayslearning #paramotor #dirtyhands https://www.instagram.com/p/COc7m5PHgEm/?igshid=tz81art05z6m

Some fantastic photos taken by my very talented #otherhalf during my preflight prep on #Saturday. All that hassle was worth it just to get these lovely shots I reckon! #flightmonkey #paramotor #paramotoring #paragliding #paraglider #parapente #preflight #preflightcheck #miniplane #advancegliders #top80 #photography #shestalented #sotalented #girlfriend #partner #prophotos #buttfan #tryfly #closeupphotography #closeupshot #parachute #reserve @miniplane_paramotors https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2XPUXnZFN/?igshid=15nj0jm3am9jc

Finally managed to get my feet off the ground all be it not under my own wing! Its been a while for all us pilots in England so i some ground training was definitely needed on Saturday, then with a good refresh session done I went for a nice little jaunt in the sky on Sunday. It was my first flight on my @miniplane_paramotors #top80 as well which was lovely. Thanks for the pics Chris 😁. #paramotoring #flightmonkey #flightmonkeyuk #gingliders #miniplane #paragliding #parapente #freeflight #paramotorlife #paramotor #flying #borntofly #freefly #buttfan #falcon #soaring #parapente #paramotorlove #paraglider https://www.instagram.com/p/CMt9uvmH0YL/?igshid=1ckzlnqd2rjnk
