Brilliant and so much better than when pilots add music. It will be 5 years since I last flew but intend to go back to Algo late summer for some thermal therapy.
Thanks once again Darren. It is so interesting watching your flights in the Scottish highlands, while we float about in West Oz, catching some great flying two days either side of the winter solstice!
I don’t know how you guys fly over those areas without a bail option. It’s the worst feeling in the world when you sink alarm is starting to scream at you and you know you can’t turn back at this point😅 “C’mon, give me a thermal…please “ 😂
I could have landed at any point safely... the bigger issue was the retrieve. Though having looked in that valley on google afterwards, it was a driveable track, even if it was 5 miles from the nearest road!
An old guy called Tomas Suchanek gave me some top secret advice once. It was 'stay high', and 'don't glide so low'. Maybe you need to work a bit more on mastering those techniques? 😂
I do try, but my mentor isn't as helpful as your old guy Tomas. My mentor actually flies off and leaves me on the hill when I'm otherwise engaged, instead of waiting to instruct me around the course. I know, hard to believe right! 😝
