This reminded me of my early hang gliding days ,flying from Bruce Peak on Salt Spring Island, B.C. Canada. On stable overcast days we would fly down and land on the beach across from the Fulford Inn. We would then carry our gliders across the road and park them in the parking lot and go in for a beer while we waited for our driver to bring my van down the mountain . Eventually the pub manager asked us to park our gliders around the back of the pub as we were taking up too many parking spaces ! Fond memories !

Love the camera POV. Is that an Insta 360 on a pole up from behind your harness? I've only flown in the Lakes once , a few sites , but a good few years ago. Where was that? Mind you, I paraglide, and that's not a pg spot!
