Great light.
The community in the foreground is the 14th Century Skelgill Farm itself. The white farm at the foot of Rowling End is, similarly, Rowling End Farm, and guess the name of the crag above Ellas Crag guesthouse.
Beyond Rowling End, the ridge rises to Causey Pike, which neatly defines the cloudbase as at 637 m asl, then on to Crag Hill; at 839 m, well within the cloud.
To the left is the arc of Ard Crags, not obviously a ridge from this angle; the nearer end is Rigg Screes.
Better On Black?

The approach into Oksibil is fairly straight forward, provided you've managed to get below the clouds with a reasonable gap between the cloudbase and the ground. If the clouds are too low then it could make the go-around somewhat "interesting".

Now just when you think we're down into the foothills, we're climbing again and again, loopback after loopback, higher and higher to cloudbase.
Yes, that's our "highway" on the right.

Take a moment to study this image, as the attractive cloud texture isn't instantly apparent (viewing On Black might help).
I loved the rapidly changing light as rain-blurred slopes, well above the cloudbase, were rapidly hidden and revealed.

Patricia Scanlon is founder and CEO of SoapBox Labs, a Dublin-based start-up, which recently landed €1.2m seed funding after meeting Astia Angels at Inspirefest. As adult speech recognition systems currently on the market are unsuitable for young children, SoapBox Labs has developed a proprietary, cloud-based speech recognition technology platform specifically for young kids aged 4-10. SoapBox Labs licenses its technology to a wide range of application areas that, to date, have not been served by accurate children’s speech technology, such as educational products for literacy and language learning as well as learning games.
Hang Glider Wills Wing SST Malcolm Hawksworth was manufacturing the Wiils Wing Swallowtail, and the SST Super Swallow Tail from 14 coombe terrace brighton sussex the swallowtail was £375 and the SST was £465 , The sails were bought in from Wills Wing USA and the airframe was manufactured in England, later Tony Prentice joined Hawsworth skysports Ltd and the company moved to the north of england in December 1976 to a old dye factory in Upper Hulme, Leek, Staffordshire, england. The airframe was manufactured and Wills Wing still supplied the sails.
The gliders were expensive at that time you could buy a Hiway cloudbase or Wasp Falcon 3 for £300
The Wills wWing Glider after the SST was the XC cross country
June 22, 2014 - Kearney Nebraska US
It was late & close to midnight. I went out about an hour before the storm was supposed visit our area. Storm slowed way down but was producing some nice ambient lighting against the lower cloudbase.
So I decided to stick around & see what was going to happen.
I wasn't going to be disappointed.

Pilot: Miguel de Jong. Location: Razorback, South Australia.
About midway along the leading edge of Miguel's hang glider is a small camera hanging down - see the note. This is the vid of his short flight taken with that camera moments after this photo: The day that could have been.
Yes, the sky may look like an awesome cross country day with a great smattering of cu's, but it wasn't sucking up any hang gliders or paragliders to cloudbase. Nothing but a flight to the landing paddock for all who stepped off Razorback range.
don liddard flying graham cheshire's hiway cloudbase hang glider at walton on the naze cliffs clacton essex the log book says I managed to get a 20 minute flight - nice handling glider, dont know why I bought a wasp falcon 3, !!!!
High in Saturn's atmosphere there is a temperate zone where the pressure is not too high and humans could live comfortably without spacesuits breathing a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Any aircraft that can fly on earth would be able to fly on Saturn by using the hydrogen in the atmosphere as fuel and carrying oxygen in its fuel tanks instead of fuel. The waste product of burning hydrogen is water so the base would recycle its own waste.

Reiter Affiliated Companies (RAC) Knowledge Innovation and Grower Support specialist Jamie Lopez, at Reiter Berry Farms in Watsonville, CA, on Thursday, August 27, 2015, shares why they are working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to improve on the 30% water savings they already achieve with precision micro subsurface irrigation. The use of a Wireless Irrigation Monitoring Network (WIN) to collects data from wireless solar powered soil tensiometers, and weather field stations positioned throughout farms in three counties enable them to track soil, temperature, and humidity conditions with a cloud-based irrigation management system, to better manage watering and soil conservation efforts in more than 700 acres. They actively share their data, methods, and experiences with other producers. Better management by producers using a currently dwindling supply and quality of ground water (wells) in this county will help recharge the aquifer and prevent the migration of nearby Pacific Ocean salt water into the ground water they use. This is one of the ways growers are extending the water supply. Reiter Affiliated Companies (RAC) has been involved with family farming since 1868; is a leading fresh, multi-berry producer in the world; and a leading supplier of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries in North America.
Wireless soil tensiometer are buried at multiple specific distances and depths from the subsurface water emitters and the root balls. The tensiometer measures how strongly the soil absorbs water. The tensiometer’s porous probe is buried into the soil and a pump pulls some air out, creating a vacuum. Water and moisture from the surrounding soil enters the probe. Low amounts of water entering the tensiometer indicate plants (and evaporation) are pulling water from the soil and may need to be watered. High levels of water entering the tensiometer indicate the plants have enough water. This information is then transmitted to a company’s cloud-based irrigation management system that makes the data available on customer’s mobile device in the field. If this data is combined with historical data and other information, it can help determine when, how long and how fast watering needs to be for best efficiency, soil health and electrical economy to improve a business’s yield and profitability. These measurements helps ensure ideal watering and for soil conservation. The farms have been using the tensiometers for 5 years. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

From the TV series Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons. Bought at a car boot sale a few years back for about 20 pence - good value I reckon ! Resembling an aircraft carrier, complete with flight deck and powered by jet engines, Cloudbase hovers at a fixed altitude of 40,000 feet (7.6 mi; 12 km). Although normally geostationary, it can be moved to any point above the Earth's surface as and when required. It was constructed in Earth orbit and has a crew of 600. The whole structure is pressurised; pilots entering or exiting aircraft on the flight deck do so via airtight shafts and docking ports. Cloudbase's primary defence is its squadron of three Angel Interceptor fighter aircraft, flown by five female pilots (who have faster reflexes than men). One fighter is manned around the clock, with the others on continuous standby. Auxiliary aircraft include Spectrum Passenger Jets and Magnocopters, which are launched from a separate part of the flight deck.

Poor weather. Dull, low cloudbase, grotty visibility.
Climbing out over Mystic, this was the view as I approached cloud-base, looking back down on Wandiligong, 1000m below. Kieran Schultz is not far below me on the red wing. The Wandi cricket ground, and hedge maze are below him.
Quite a rare visitor I believe, on the approaches to Newcastle Airport via the coast. Not the best weather to try and get photos but this is the best I could do with the cloudbase. Canon EOS R, Sigma 60-600mm Sport.
Mere Wiltshire 1975 BHGA Hang Glider Gliding Competition classic photo this is a wills wing swallowtail that had been used in the film sky riders, not sure who is flying bob or chris wills ?? but they gave all the black swallow tails hang gliders away to UK pilots before their return to USA. the black sails had started to stretch in the greek sunshine. but the gliders were far in advance of what the UK had, after this hiway produced the cloudbase and wasp produced the falcon range of hang gliders
note this is a wills wing swallowtail not the SST
Sticking my hand and camera out the window was a cold experience at cloudbase and freezing level. Peter joined me in the Janus C twoseater.
