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. Iβll 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 π₯³. @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
