Finally managed tobget back to our caravan in Wales after all the heat for a couple of days
On the way in I noticed a sign saying BCC parking, I wondered what it meant and looked it up to find it was a paragliding competition
High on the thermals
Floating on air
Turning around
So my wife and I sat down outside after setting up our caravan and watched what was going on
The photos were taken with mu compact zoom so may be a little out of focus
The parafoils were everywhere
all different colours
High up on the thermals
This guy just came into land
Sat floating around
Another coming into land
they turned one way then another
This guy landing had a group of kids running after him
Colours were really vibrant
There were also a few hang gliders
This guy flew past landing in the field behind.
Happy SkyWatch

It's fun to watch them but I would never do it. I don't like heights.
Amazing. Don't think I could do that though!! :)
I've only seen a few and they are really fun to watch. I've never seen as many up in the air as what you saw.
What an amazing happenstance. They are so colourful and fun to watch. Hope you are enjoying a bit of cooler weather in Wales.

Wow, that's quite a site. Perfect for Skywatch!
Nice to photograph, but I don't have the courage to try that, not at this age anyway.
