Chucked the M60 in the back of the car and went off to find a place to fly on the cliffs.
Arrived at Mewslade Bay (just along from Rhosilli) and climbed up the cliff path to find a place to fly.
Here we are at Falls Bay. Very steep sided cliff edge (nearly vertical).
Well the wind is blowing up the cliff, so let's give it a go!
Part 2 -an interesting landing........
Moved around to the main slope at the centre of the bay. Wind in my face and this launch wasn't so good. No lift!!!! Ended up on the side of the cliff in deep gorse. It bloody hurt getting to the model and took ages picking my way through the cutting and piercing gorse.
Hi Paul, looks like you had a cracking adventure in wild Wales. I just wonder if you need to add an extra element to your routine pre-flight checks, like a 'retrieval risk assessment'!
