....are a million to one he said!




an alien invader lurks upon the hillside... 




we're drawn to its exposed carbon loveliness




 'it's very easy to fly, right for right, left for left' etc etc




'it's even got it very own moulded carbon, front bottom flange'





it comes complete with two trannies...

hmmmmmthebelgians


Remind me again, what is it that Belgium is famous for?

Passing through with a parcel shelf sized sloper, it'd be rude not to make
good use of some fair sized dunes and a fresh north northwesterly






Best part of the slope was the inaccessible hotel frontage just visible here.
Unfortunately booking in for a twenty minute 'quickie' was not an option.




nor was making a top landing





Anyone thought of anything other than Tintin?
