My very first ‘Hike and Fly’: walk up, fly down! We’re flying from Mt Guy<\/a>, which is quite a walk up<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The views are awesome with all that snow on the mountains<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Take a right here and it’s straight up Mt Guy<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Two Thumb Range<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A good way up the mountain now, Lake Clearwater on the left<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A well deserved rest, luckily the sun’s out<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lake Emma, I’ve hiked around that lake too, nice there<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Nearly at the top now, it’s tough going in that snow and my boots are soaking wet<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

On the summit! What a view! What a day!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

There’s not much wind, there’s debate on what part to take off from: here or over there<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Enjoying the scenery and judging the wind<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Taking a selfie, someone’s got to do it. On the left is my soaking wet pullover hopefully drying up a bit in the sunlight<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Just a bit of relaxing before we take off<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I didn’t bring a GoPro so I don’t have footage of the actual flight (stupid, I know) but here’s a photo of someone else coming in for landing shortly after I landed myself, back at Lake Clearwater<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We wait around a bit until about everyone has landed<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The windsock and the end of a nice day. Good exercise and nice flight. I should do more Hike and Fly!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
