A couple of weeks ago, Dave and I spent an evening pouring over maps, exploding all our paragliding and camping gear over a room, finally composing our gear and a plan to carry us for potentially many kilometres over the wildest landscape that I had yet flown in New Zealand.
The next morning we set off at dawn for the start of our journey: Kidds Bush, near The Neck of lakes Wanaka and Hawea. Allowing 2.5 hours to ascend the spur, I was surprised when we reached a suitable launch in under 90 minutes; a perfect start, allowing us more time to soak in the view, prepare our kit, and assess conditions. It also allowed more time for the nervous anticipation to brew. The view was already inspiring: intense aque-marine water of Hawea set against rugged spurs leading to lofty peaks. We intended to fly straight in to the heart of that rugged landscape, and although we had a rough plan, in reality we had no idea where we would land, or sleep, later that day.
Kit prepared, final routines executed, we pulled our wings in to the air and soared over the warm easterly face of the spur above the Sawyer Burn track. Soon we we working small bubbles that helped us slowly ascend towards our first milestone: Sentinel Peak. The going was really slow, no classic thermal that takes us in one exhilirating journey to cloud-base. Instead, a metres here and there, using each little gain to push further back on to higher ridges, all the while making sure we had a safe glide out over the mainly forested gully below.
Finally, we found the stronger stuff, and reached the clouds above Sentinel Peak; now, in theory, the world was our oyster. In practice though, the sky didn't look so great in our desired direction - the north-east - so we followed the west side of the range, chasing the better-looking clouds, making good progress past Makarora. Our slow start meant that we didn't have as much of a usable day left by the time we got up to cloud-base, and after a few hours we noticed the climbs becoming weaker, harder to harness, so we started looking for options. My priority was to avoid having to hike in the morning: land high, sleep high, launch with minimal exertion the next day. We pushed past one attractive hill, with a flat top, steep northerly face, and some tarns, to try its neighbour to the north. If we got a climb off it, we'd push a little further north, if not, it seemed possible to make it our home for the night.
The climb never materialised, so soon enough we were lining ourselves up with a flat-topped ridge that was slightly worryingly strewn with rocks and scree. Dave aimed perfectly on top of the ridge first, and I was glad for his advice that the wind was coming straight up the face, making my choice of landing spot much easier.
It wasn't quite 6pm, so there was plenty light left. Once packed and fed, we had plenty time to do nothing but soak up the landscape from our lofty vantage point, nobody in sight, and the only human noise being the distant traffic on the Haast Pass. 30km from where we started was a lot less than we thought we could have potentially flown that day, but it was our first attempt at vol-biv flying, and we accepted that it was a small step to bigger things. With a view like this, there was really nothing to be disappointed about.

(2014-2021) Learning to read fluently in primary school is a critical foundational skill and one of the greatest predictors of academic success for a young student. Tusome (“Let’s Read” in Kiswahili) is a flagship partnership between USAID and the Government of Kenya’s Ministry of Education (MOE).
Tusome is implemented through the MOE in 24,452 primary schools including over 1,500 low-cost private primary schools across Kenya.
Tusome supports literacy development throughout Kenya and fosters a reading culture among early- grade pupils, including children with visual and hearing impairments. Tusome has trained public-school teachers in grades 1-3 and provided textbooks to the students.
The trainings develop teachers’ pedagogical skills in critical areas of reading instruction; empower head teachers (principals) to provide instructional leadership and an innovative tablet-based feedback and monitoring for their schools; and enable education officials to upload real-time learner performance data to a cloud-based network that fosters greater accountability throughout the education system.

Visibility through the mountains was particularly good allowing a near perfect view of the snow capped summit of Snowdon up through the valley, Cwm Llan waterfall can also be seen in the middle distance.
This image was taken on the same day as the previous upload with just sufficient time to manage a few shots during the infrequent breaks of light through the cloud base.
Just to drive through the mountains is such an amazing sight but also good to get off the beaten track away from the typical tourist routes to absorb the tranquility of your surroundings, I could sit for hours just taking in the views around me at the time, it was extremely peaceful with no 3G or mobile phone network available until you hit upon civilisation again.
This particular day saw us take the route from Trawsfynydd through Llan Ffestiniog, Betws-Y-Coed, Capel Curig and on to Beddgelert and venturing up some of the tracks to gain a little height.

Being right at the cloud base meant that the "weather" and light were constantly changing. One minute it was foggy and dark, then a glimpse of light in the distance, then sunshine eerily peeking through the fog, then back to darkness again.

A dramatic sky filled with an approaching thunderstorm looms over a lush green field. In the distance, a faint glow below the cloud base suggests nasty shelf cloud on the horizon.

Ok, I normally don't post two shots in one day but this is a different shot.... please take the time to read on.... because I know some people just like to post comments like great shot and run...
Firstly this shot itself is an experiment for me, the sky over this site was completely flat and featureless and I have been unable to do anything with it in photoshop, so I've cloned in a sky from a shot taken somewhere else on a different day.... that's allowed isn't it? ;o)
Secondly this shot isn't about the shot, it's about the story that follows... please read on.
On the 8th of May 1945 the Second World War in Europe ended. The following month on the 13th of June 1945 a B-24 Liberator bomber of the United States Army Air Forces took off from Prestwick in Scotland with the crew of nine from 66th Bomb Squadron together with six other crewmen from Air Transport Command. The plane was to fly to the United States via Keflavík (Meeks Field) in Iceland and its route should have taken it over Stornoway in the Western Isles, enroute to Iceland.
The combat crew of nine had completed their long tour of combat duty exceeding 30 missions and covering a period of more than six months. The other passengers were all “old” veterans who had served heroically in the dangerous air over Europe with Troop Carrier units and Bomber Units. Each of these men had accumulated many combat experiences that he could not divulge to anyone due to the strict censoring of all correspondence. During the few days that these men had waited at a Redistribution Center awaiting passage home they had written letters home with the super news that they were alive, had survived the war, would soon be home, and could then tell everyone about their dangerous experiences. Likewise, the families were so thankful that their loved ones had survived the war, were just fine, and very soon would be together again.
The reason for the tragedy that then unfolded are not known but the plane ended up overflying the Scottish mainland. A navigational error, instrumental or engine failure, all are possible. For whatever reason, they found themselves descending through thick cloud to attempt an emergency landing. It seems the aircraft struck the top of Slioch and the descent continued until they broke through the cloud base over Gairloch. They circled once round the loch, possibly looking for a place to ditch, and may have decided on the sea loch itself. The aircraft was on the run in when they just failed to clear the rocky spurs by the Fairy Lochs. All crew and passengers were killed, with the wreckage strewn over the mountainside around the Fairy Lochs... where it lies to this day.
