a fellow club member flying at Beachy Head in the UK. This is just along from the White Cliffs of Dover.
It can be a tricky site because of headland effect. Sometimes the wind will flow around the headland instead of up and over the top depending upon the sea temperature, blah blah blah. There's a pub right next to the rigging area!

Great video. Relaxing. Just wondering, what kind of wing is that? Thanks.

[Blue]

ha ha. nice video friend.

[snowbird]

Very Nice!

Also so very proper "British" to have a pub next to launch. Seems that our California crowd who are always worrying about where their next beer is coming from can learn something here!

(Just kidding, Noman and friends)

Great video! Very different look from my usual flying sites.

Nice vid, beautiful place to fly!!!!!!

I didn't quite recognize your "fellow club member's" rigid wing. Is it an early ATOS with a home-built tail?

Beautiful video, Peanuts bet me to it 1min 52, your own personal armchair in the sky, what i love about coastal flying.

truly beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. I love to see far away flying sites and hope I get the chance to visit some of them.......

[Bobfly]

I have to agree with all of the above. Beautiful site. Gorgeous wing. I loved the introspective moment floating above the cliffs with the vg cord barely moving in the slipstream. Great job editing too.

Thanks for posting! so fun to watch. Loved the drama at the end

[rubixi]

Incredible. What a great video thanks for sharing

Four things.

1. "God time" looking down at the peons (at 1.52), I love that

2. What is the plan if you get hit with sink and get below cliff top height..... cross the channel and invade France?

3. Music can seriously make a video. Excellent choice... Opening by Philip Glass Ensemble

4. I like the final landing..... "Oh Thank God.. I made it" At least the grass looks soft.

Awesome video, I will put that flying site on my bucket list.

I was going to mention a few things, but Cav Man beat me to it.

What a great video and looks like a great place to fly! Thanks for posting.

Scott's wing is a WW Eagle (165?) I believe.
The ATOS at the start of the video belongs to a mate.
The thing about England is that you're seldom more than 400 yards from a pub :o)
but it's an excellent facility.
Devil's Dyke is like that too. Really quite good beer.

Beachy Head is a "difficult site". It only works at particular times of the year and is very sensitive to wind direction. The escape route is to the East, (left) where the beach is better and there is a bottom landing option above the beach on the eastern side.
You're correct though. Going West (right) there's seldom any bottom landing option at all until a place called Birling Gap and people have gone into the sea.
The local club sets stringent experience restrictions on who can fly where at Beachy, generally totally ignored by foreign visitors who don't apprehend the possible dangers.

nice one, thanks
Oh to be in england now that april is here (just joking- i mean Laragne!)

[psuguru]

The fields are looking rough with hoary dew
just about now.
Will it ever stop raining?

[Cav_Man_77]

I had to go and watch that video again.
