What a lovely day, bright, sunny and cold. Got up first thing and headed for Bellarena again, was in the air for 10.30 am. Really enjoyed the gliding, they towed us up over Lough Foyle, and then we followed the course of the River Roe up towards Limavady before releasing somewhere near Ballykelly and the old RAF airstrip. We released about 3000 feet and circled over Benevenagh searching for thermals. We got a couple of small lifts which kept us in the air for about 45 minutes, but nothing which allowed us to climb any higher than launch height. It was a lovely experience, he let me control it for about 15 minutes, doing a few turns and playing around with rising and dropping the nose. I must admit it's not a great adrenaline buzz but great fun none the less.
Never managed to get any photos at the air field, but took a few around Mussenden Temple on the way back.
