Adam West and Grove flew Signal Hill at the base of Table Mountain, South Africa recently. Here's an excerpt of the account:

Video by Adam West. Here's an excerpt from his BLOG
We climbed out rapidly into the classic, laminar air and headed for Lion's Head. Cloudbase was close to the top of Lion's Head, so we couldn't head for the Apostles. Instead, we boated around the site, out over Bantry Bay and Sea Point staying just under the cloud.

We glided together for long stretches comparing the performance of our wings, sometimes flying wing-tip to wing-tip. My Wills Wing U2 145 held it's own against Grove's bigger U2 160. These are fantastic gliders.

More from Adam tomorrow. Thanks bro.
