Visit to the lakes!

Posted on July 14, 2013 in Ric Womersley   

Just returned from a week of flying my parajet Zenith in the Lake District. And was blessed with gorgeous weather wall to wall. The lakes are a great place for paragliding and paramotoring offering us the opportunity to take in the breath taking views.

They demand a respectful pilot the vast mountainous terrain means lots of care must be taken not to get into rotor, there are also lots of areas that would require a long walk if you had a engine failure.  But the flights I had were amazing including a valley run to black moss pot with a stop of to dive into the popular wild swimming and diving spot. Then thermalling all the way home. Followed by an evening fly around 鈥渢he haystacks鈥� which are a rocky out crop on one of wainwrights favorite walks offering views over lake Buttermere. On returning home I was gutted to find my go pro had malfunctioned leaving me with memories instead of footage oh well just an excuse to do it all again!
