Back in the harness

Its been a slow and longer than I expected recovery from the time I had my accident, but after nearly 4 and a half months off i’m finally flexible enough to fly again.
On the mend….

Following my recent little incident you will all be pleased to hear that I’m healing up quite well. With 6 weeks in plaster and confined to a wheelchair you’d think that i’d be house bound and bored out my mind. Well it just shows when routine changes you just have to make the most of the opportunity.
Bad timing!

Well for anyone that hasn’t seen Facebook or heard on the grapevine, things took a bit of a turn for the worse over the weekend.
Basse Ham - Another weekend, another road trip!
Posted on July 04, 2012 in Phil Jennings
Last weekend was the Mondial Paramoteur (Global Paramotor) event held at Basse Ham, a small village in north eastern France. I’d been looking forward to this event for quite a while as it only happens every two years and I was relishing the thought of lots of flying and a great social without the stress and worry of a big competition.
The winning combination

Being in a similar situation to Dean after only having one short flight on my newly assembled Zenith, I heading off to the British Open. The forecast wasn’t looking good so we knew we’d be flying in between gaps in the weather, thankfully I had great faith in my kit.
Double the fun!

Last week was the French Open held this year near Moulins in central France. I arrived midday on the Saturday to find fellow team pilot Deano had saved me a good pitch as near to the airfield as possible so hopefully less walking for us and the other 5 British pilots that had made the trip out.
Two weeks of greatness!

With another flyable weekend forecast, I headed off early to catch up with Deano who was busy training TV adventurer Charlie Boorman at Parajet HQ. The day ended up being very thermic and wasn’t ideal for Charlie’s first flight so he had to make do with ground handing and soaking up the summer rays.
The best at Boston!

After a hectic week at work it was time to load up the van and head of for the second leg of the British Paramotor League at Boston, Lincolnshire. The weather forecast was a mixed bag and arriving Friday I was surprised to find unpredicted flyable conditions. I made the most of this and got in several short flights allowing me to get some quality airtime after the constant April showers that had plagued the last few weeks.
