It&#8217;s ironic when you see skydivers flying paragliders without a parachute! Marc, Geoff and I all had a few flights and the wind was picking up, so we decided to call it a day and have a beer in the sunshine, when we heard a car coming up the hill. I idly looked around and saw Erwan with a guy who looked remarkably like Barney Woodhead. To my utter amazement, it was.
