South African cape flying
Jeff's blog
32 kms from Signals to Scarborough. A really fun flight and a new
personal best for me at this site. The flight itself was easy, just a point and
shoot ridge-run. The only tricky bit came navigating some cloud in Hout Bay and
thus having to go deep downwind along the steep cliffs of Chapman's Peak over
the ocean before finding lift. The glide from Chapman's to Scarborough was a
buttery smooth 14km at 20:1 and 75 kmh ground speed. Had to stop there as that
is where the National Park Border starts.
