Post by: - Dave - on 21:23:02, 09/07/19
A bit of a Lake District classic - luckily undertaken on a mid-week with no one around!

Hi Dave,Did Coniston Old Man with my Friend last week, definately one of my favourite walks so far.
On the descent we came across strong winds and did something a little different, we flew the the Parafoil Kite.  I have videos on my youtube but this forum won't allow me to post external links.  :(
Had a quick look at your Blog, looking forward to reading more.
John.
