Midnight ferry from Dover to Dunkirk on Tuesday evening, docked in Dunkirk 3 AM french time drove for 2 hours then head down until about 9.30 then spent the rest of the day travelling south east down to Annecy very popular area for paragliding.
going this time of year the season is just about started and there is not the usual mass of people that you would find say in july august. Below are some photo's taken today using the Forclaz take off. Absolutely fantastic start to the day blue sky sun out made it to take off just after mid day, waited until all the SIV GROUPS HAD TAKEN OFF AS WELL AS THE TANDEM PILOTS.
take off was into light thermals but as the afternoon went on they got more punchy and had some good climb rates. at around 3.30 big over development to the south storm clouds brewing everybody headed for the doussard landing field, within an hour thunder and lightening heavy rain within an hour blue skies again.
All in all a great first day
