What do you do when there aren't any thermals on a very cold Autumn day in the UK?
Top landing practice.
I've strung together a series of approaches and top landings on a fairly strong day, with some thermic activity. I was constantly surprised how much lift you can get on launch when you face into wind on a top landing.
My next landings will be more cross wind and not into wind as much.... live and learn.
Hope you enjoy and learn someting.

that's quite a bit of traffic to be practicing... even if there is a lot of space. I also noted that people would not always follow priorities rules that are enforced (or should be) on the continent.

Great video Jacque. Looked like a mega busy day at DD. 👍

@jacquecilliers 7 месяцев назад

Ya.. first flyable day in a month! Everyone and literally their dogs were there. A good day though... loads of flying, all be it on the hill mostly.

Did I slip up?

Very smooth. Lots of people up; looks quite majestic

I changed the recording settings on my GoPro - There is a lot more resolution and less noise. The images look amazing and I want to cut together a short clip with views only .... and some music. Let's see what happens.

I hate top landing when it's that busy at DDK.

@jacquecilliers 3 месяца назад

Yeah it can be a bit nerve wrecking. There wasn't much in the way of thermals, so I thought I would do some top landing practice. Come up and say hi next time you are on the hill... what paraglider do you fly?

@christimson 7 месяцев назад

Nice to see. As a recently qualified CP this is very useful.

@jacquecilliers 7 месяцев назад

No problem. I'm also a coach for the Southern club. If you ever need any help with this kind of thing, just let me know. Winter is a nice time to practice all these hill based skills like slope landings, ground handling and top landings.
