gordon_dunn Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-23203500 I'm sure paramotorists would be a valuable resource for these guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Wow, I was thinking the same thing after I flew over four separate iron age hill forts last night (hadn't even known about two or them until I saw them from above). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon_dunn Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Again- I spotted one from the air that isn't on the maps or anything. Just noticed different textured ring of grass on a hill top- indicated that there was a trench there at one stage. Sometimes easier to spot near sunset. Obvious from the air, but impossible to see on the ground. gd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 This is amazing, I found another two tonight with two more possibles. It seems like they are everywhere I look around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 This is a beauty and a well known one in Wales, Pen-y-Crug Iron Age fort this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The early bird gets the ... pleasure of wearing a paramotor and relaying out his wing several times in rising temperatures whilst the fickle 1 mph wind changes its mind about where it's coming from. Got to say it was one of the most sublime flights I can remember, perfect in nearly every way (after an hour and a half of flying I did three approaches to land and each time I couldn't bring myself to stop so went off for another 'just five more minutes').
