Paragliding - of a sort ...

Well good evening - today I went to a very small hill in nill wind and had a rather nice if not epic time. After a little ground handling practice - that is 2 weeks in a row now as last weekend at Hillend. After this I then attempted a forward take off - but failed having run most of the way down- so walked back up - not actually that far - and then had a short flight. Site very like the Moorfoots but smaller! Either way that is probably my first flight of the year and here is my kml file for Google Earth which includes the run!
W20100220144252.kml - as this was recorded on my phone it seems to keep me quite some way from the ground all the time - however you can get the gist of it ...
