A trip to Lulworth Cove Dorset  part of the Jurassic Coast, a truly beautiful place and saw the natural beauty from two different perspectives, from top of the chalk cliffs and from the sea by taking a tour with Jurassic tours based in Lulworth Cove. Very informative and well guided giving geological information as we paddled from Lulworth Cove  west along to  the famous Durdle Dor.

time to swim in the sea then on the way back rock hopping through the many arches and inlets, tour lasted three hours well worth the time if your down at Lulworth.

Funny who you meet


Having flown from Bir to Mandi and landing in the dry river bed, it is funny within minutes of landing you are surround by Holy men from the local temple, and the local youths.

Early Morning flight

 Early morning flying in the Yorkshire Dales, wind forecast to get stronger from 0900 onwards so myself and Dean crosby CFI of Active Edge (web address below) bivied out the night and in the air for 7.30-7.45 and by ten the site was blown out.

Borne along by nothing other than the wind, an experienced paraglider pilot can remain aloft for hours on end, flying great distances and discovering a vantage point on the world shared only with the birds.

It's run by one of the most experienced BHPA Senior Paragliding Instructors and multiple British Paragliding Champion pilot, Dean Crosby. He's the only pilot in the UK to compete at National level in all three soaring disciplines, paragliding, hang gliding and gliding.
