Aberdaron Beach, North Wales - July 2014 (Part 1)

The beach at Aberdaron is spectacular. Long wide open expanse of smooth sand.
Both myself and Tim flew from this spot next to grave yard - Ideal for a 'dead stick landing! (sorry, blame that one on Rob) and a higher cliff further along (Part 2) and from the beach itself. Here we are up on a 100' high bank (not really a cliff) above the sand. The bank worked well close in and if you pushed out over the beach the lift carried on and I'm sure the lift was from the gently up sloping beach (part 2 demonstrates this better). If you are looking for a peaceful, beautiful, quite and with slope soaring possibilities then the Lleyn Peninsula is the place to go.
Below is a picture from the beach looking up at the bank we were flying from.
I hand launched the Ninja from the beach under the sea wall. Managed to soar away from the beach and had a great time beating up the beach then back up on to the wall and soared away again. If the Ninja can do this then anything can!
