Pictures taken on recent South Australia coastal flight of about
23km from Cape Jervis to near Normanville. Finishers of the Coast Run that day
with me were Paul Kelley (Rev 14.5), who took the pictures from his wingtip cam
(see bottom of the web page); also Barry Hazelwood (Shark 156) who did this
Coast Run flight for the first time (after many years of flying hang gliders
and trikes). Young Harrison Rowntree also flew at Cape Jervis this day, but
top-landed after he couldnt get his glider to perform to requirements.

This section of the Fleurieu Peninsula faces west north west and these winds
come to South Australia most commonly in pre-frontal conditions in winter. There
havent been many occasions this year when this Coast Run has been possible.
South Australia's hang glider and paraglider pilots like this coastal flying in
winter and early spring, when the landscape is still green and more
scenic. Thanks to Theresa for driving for us and to Paul Kelley for
providing the vehicle. The flight started here at Cape Jervis, south of
Adelaide.
