Latrigg Gliding

Walking up Latrigg 1,700ft high, I found 8 full size gliders getting ready to be winched off the top, if you look at the end of the right wing you'll see a Gopro video camera, pilot said he films every flight,

@simta Спасибо за ваши комментарии Татьяна, Эти пилоты имеют собственные планеры и являются членами аэроклубе, район является частью национального парка Лейк-Дистрикт и имеет много посетителей;)
