Iain arrived on a most beautiful Saturday, where the endless Winter was briefly suspended in favour of warm sunshine. As we headed off for a hike, we spotted paragliders riding the uplift off the North Eastern end of the Leckhampton scarp. We decided to climb up and watch them taking off over first lunch, before heading SW and refueling at The Air Balloon. Circling back to the South, we maxxed out the wonderful day in the fresh air. Several of the flexible wing pilots were hiking back, having managed some reasonable trips to the Stroud area, riding the slope lift and some thermals under the odd cloud. Apparently you can get set up to go for about £1000.... great window seats but there's no in-flight service. Perhaps 'not yet' so early into my gap year.
