Paragliding at Buffel's Bay.

This is our second last day in Buffel's Bay. A few paragliding buds from C-Town (South Africa), demonstrated some fine ground control while taking of from a perfectly level beach. OK, they used the dune as a 'wind elevator' but they never walked up the overgrown dune. The wind was way to strong for paramotoring. How bad (for me). I have try to paramotor earlier but the 20+Km/h wind kept me on the ground.I have decided to wake up at 06:00 tomorrow morning, hopping the wind will not be too strong.

No one did believe us but my son and I, did walk/run along the beach, from Buffel's Bay to Brenton on Sea and back! On the first leg the wind was from East, right in the face and slowed us down a bit. On the way back it was 'all downhill' and we did the 6km, soft sand beach, in 45min. The first leg took just under one hour. Not bad for a 44 year old couch potato and a 6 year old kid . . .

On vacation in Buffel's Bay.


Wow,finally we've made it. Once again we come to visit this beautifull place. Its not only beautifull but is safe too. And that says a lot because we are in South Africa after all.
