And then onto the cliffs near the Pearl Factory

We moved from Stenbury Down and drove about 11 miles West to the small cliffs next to the Pearl Factory. A short walk from the car park was the cliff's about 100ft above the beach. Unfortunately, since I last flew here a fence has been erected which did cause a little issue with landing but due to various mid airs, I didn't need to land there many times. We all had a fly here and I really enjoyed the low level flying below the cliff top. Watch the video for just a classic mid air between mine and Jacks Ninja. Another good reason for choosing to fly at the lower cliffs.
