Ölü Deniz - 20th - 22nd Oct

3 days - with dad. I didn't manage to fly since the first two days were taken up with re-fitting the lines on my paraglider. The third day was rainy and gusty. We worked on the lines on each of the three days! But job done.

what a poser!

We saw Yiğit, Yilmaz and Serdar with some of his school pilots. Yiğit is working as a tandem pilot before doing his national service in November.


We also saw Steve Hudson! We were wondering when we'd bump into him in Ölü - he was the first person to describe the place to us four or five years ago. He gave me a huge England wind-sock which you can probably see from 20 miles away at 4000m. Steve had trailed the wind sock behind him on the day England were playing South Africa in the final of the Rugby World Cup. I'm not nationalistic, but I'll find a use for it.

Ölü Deniz was as busy as ever. The season's only got another week or two, but it's packed there still.
