This was my first 'real' flight on Sedgefield Hill, near Wilderness, South Africa. (My actual first flight was the day before, but due to almost zero wind, I wasn't able to climb). Have to say this rates as one of the most awesome flights I've ever had, despite the fact that I dislocated my left shoulder on what was otherwise a pretty uneventful landing (bit of an old sports injury which crops up every now and then). What amazing scenery! Flying a Wills Wing U2 160.

Airwave Magic Formula
After the Magic Formula received a much needed bath, had to re-set my hang straps. Word of advise, mark where they were before removing. lol Still a great looking glider. Time to get her back in the air!!
Hang Gliding in Wilderness - 1st flight with Paragliders
This was the first time I'd flown with so many paragliders in the air. Usually it's just a couple at most, so I was pretty nervous at first because my glider kept vibrating rather strangely, but once I settled into my line on the ridge I realized it was just the turbulence from the other gliders. Flying with so many other pilots was such a rush... I think there were three other HG pilots in the air as well, what an amazing flight.
