Dist:0.3km<br/>The wind off the sea, blowing across the Black Cliffs generates a considerable uplift. As we stopped for lunch, this hang glider appeared to take advantage of the uplift, and managed to maintain this position for around half an hour. The plants in the lower right are the heads of Ribwort Plantain growing on the clifftop.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The current edition of the map is incorrect here - the map shows woodland where this field is and the pylon in the centre of the picture is now at the end of the run, presumably with the cable passing underground. On the map the cables continue across more pylons. This is presumably related to the fact that Hayle power station is now defunct.
