Well a big thanks to all for taking part, welcoming me to my new role, and I hope you found it a little fun to guess what I get up to in my spare time, but also gave me an insight into what goes on in your minds, dogging? Seriously that’s where you all went? LOL
Congrats to @ternur who will get the 5 extra entries to the safari comp on top of any already accumulated.
As for the hobby itself, sadly I not been able to do it for quite a while due to several reasons, but it really is great being up there, when you up to height and the burners are in standby it’s really quiet, surreal and tranquil up there.
To anyone who hasn’t done it, it’s also quite physical, as they rely on people helping if they able to, to get ready pre and post flight. The flights themselves can vary in length as they have to find somewhere suitable to land and you will be many, many miles away from where you start! Don’t worry they have a ground crew following to bring you back. Wellies are generally a must IMO as you will almost certainly land in a muddy field even in summer.
I have always wanted to do one over Kenya, with all the wildlife below, but sadly that is a bit out my price range and the misses prefers to spend all the money at Disney instead.
