Flying over Newcastle and its sites.

Hill height max 88 meters asl. Most of what's going on is way below hill height.
Dixon Park landing area is 25 meters ASL, no room for error. Have to get it
right and yes, I, we, are enjoying what we do immensely!. Some say these
maneuvers are performed way too low. It's all we have to work with, we don't
have the luxury of thousands of feet to spare (and we have been doing this for a
very long time).

The low level aspect makes it more crucial when performing maneuvers, knowing
how much height you will use, where you will be at the end of the routine and
where everyone else in the air is. Safety first at all times.

I enjoy all aspects of hang gliding, as do my friends. From coastal to cross
country At 52 years old and flying now for over 30 years, I can't see any reason
to stop doing what I do. I and my friends, the people I fly with, well, we don't
regard ourselves as special because we fly. Rather what we do is very special
and we are very lucky to be able to experience what some people can only dream
of doing, the freedom of flying like a bird. No better way to enjoy life, than
from a great height.

Thanks to Erick.
