It's been a while seeing so many pilots on take off. Polish, swedish, english, irish, heard some german and lots of local pilots today, nice one.

On the foto's, the polish pilots from http://www.topparagliding.pl/ who are here for a week. And they choose a good week, it looks like flying every day as far as we can see.

Conditions were super. At 12 am, already they were carving the sky. And this until 5 pm. Hours of thermals, and cloudsuck alltogether. Cloudbase not the highest, but for some awesome, flying upwind in the valley and reaching Agost.

I had to do a couple of tandems.
One was with Claire who loved it, the other one was with Wendy. The flight with Wendy was a tandem flight sponsored for raising money for charity. Charity as in giving money to help out war veterans, this Remembrance Day.

As you know the 11th of november is Remembrance Day, a day when the world commemorates the soldiers and civilians that died during World War I. It is also called Poppy Day.

We flew tandem, and when circling above take off, Wendy let go a thousand of 'poppy's'. A poppy is a red flower, which bloomed on Flanders worst battle fields.

A white poppy is used to express your desire to work more on peaceful alternatives than war. And this would have been my choice, a white poppy.
