Snowdon take two!
Another attempt at Snowdon and it was looking promising but as the last few days of the week passed the wind shifted and my intended route down this intimidating mountain was left unflyable since now the winds were coming over the back. Not good on such a shear face of unforgiving sharp rock! Every cloud has a silver lining as they say so i decided to hike up the other side of the valley and fly the face that was into wind and as it turned out it was a great flight on my new Fluid 11! 490m vertical in about 65 seconds = 7.5m/s sink rate!!!!!! Great fun. Enjoy!
