Dina's Head Cross Country Cliff Soaring

ThWhat an amazing flight. Drove down to the pub car park beside a lovely sandy beach. Followed the cliff path up for about 1/4 mile and was probably about 100ft above the sea. Launched the Ninja off a little bit of rock over a steep sided cliff. The lift was good but as I followed the cliff path it moved away from the cliff edge. Staying high and stable I moved on up and along all the way to the point at Dinus Head. Took me half an hour walking and flying and I covered about a mile and a half! The longest cross country flight for me (so far!). Landing wasn't pretty due to the mega sink behind the 450ft steep cliff edge at the Head.
