Para Gliders on the Solent
Jan and myself had a drive up to Barton-On-Sea Hampshire on Monday afternoon. As you can see it was the most glorious September day.The Barton Cliffs, when weather conditions permit, are a favourite place for Para Gliders. We sat on the grass enjoying the late summer sun, and were treated to a wonderful and colourful flying display. One thing we agreed on, we are far too old, and well past the time, we want to jump off a cliff for kicks. Eddie

Wonderful photos, but I agree with you, at my age I don't want to join in! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDelete...fun to watch, but not for me!
ReplyDeleteGlorious blue sky indeed!
ReplyDeleteStunning photos. I've NEVER had a desire to para glide. I get vertigo and am afraid of heights. But I loved the way you captured the people and those beautiful cliffs.
ReplyDeleteHello, awesome photos and a beautiful view. The Para Gliders are brave, I would be scared.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
This is a very rare chance to enjoy the sea and the sky at the same time. The breeze of this day gave the tremendous generosity.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try one of these. :) Seems like much fun to me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I won't even get on a plane so you won't see me hanging in the air :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, oh those blues.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Jan. I admire all those that do radical sports, I've always been scared to try anything remotely dangerous.
ReplyDeleteWow....beautiful. Such an amazing blue sky.
ReplyDeleteCool outing!!
ReplyDeleteI was too old aged five for that ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut it looks beautiful.
Wow, wow and wow. I am too old as well, but refuse to say never...
ReplyDeleteI had problems finding a receipe for a cake I don´t have to use an oven for.
ReplyDeleteIt´s hubby´s Birthday next week - can you help?
Salty or sweet? Or both?
OH! No oil, either.... he can only have it cold as in salads...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot for it!
ReplyDeleteGood to look at; but too frightening to participate in.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That's one beautiful spot. Lovely blue sky and a wonderful view from the cliff. I would be staying on the cliff and not jumping off. :)
ReplyDeleteIris Flavia … has asked for birthday cake recipes, not using an oven or oil

Oh wow, what a glorious day you both enjoyed! The photos are so lovely. I don't think I've ever been the age to want to jump off a cliff. Thank you for sharing your beauty. ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I glad you enjoyed your day.
ReplyDeleteWe took the train to New Milton once and walked down to Barton, the children were disappointed not to go in the water as as soon as we got there it got colder! We saw a para glider that day too and in the end our two managed a paddle!
