Planning Babadag and Dumanli Dag flights in late January.

Last winter, Annie, Dad and I hiked up Babadag from the bottom. It took us 4 hours. I took some photos at the summit which was coated in snow, and then we all walked back down again. I wished then that I could have flown off the top then, and that's what I intend to do towards the end of this month.It will be tough going with the 20kg glider on the back, so I'm in training for it now, going on hikes in the METU grounds, etc.

Babadag looking North - Ak dag range in distance.

I also want to have a crack at flying off Dumanli Dag, north of Kalkan. Weather permitting I'd like to try flying down to dad's villa in Islamlar again. That was an amazing flight last summer, and in the clear light of the winter, it will be incredible I'm sure.

Anyone interested in joining me on either of these flights, please get in touch. It would be so much more fun to do this with someone else!
