The Beardless One and I thermalled around on our lofty paragliders together for awhile, simply marvelling at the wonderful joy of free flight, me mostly flying hands-off and taking photos of him and the scenery - good visibility today, with stunning views in all directions!

The lift was so good that I didn't seem to need my hands on the brakes much as we were thermalling together, even though the conditions were quite punchy at times, just using weight-shift and looking through my camera's viewfinder.
