Seen operating from Mam Tor, Derbyshire earlier today.

There were eight up at once whilst we were there.

I dread to think what happens when they make contact and get their lines tangled

Liked. Sharp action image of humans flying gaily through the air.

Thanks guys.

We did see a few close encounters but nothing really dangerous although i'm sure the odd miscalculation happens.

There is a large flattish area on top with grass which acts as the initial run up to lift off and also the landing zone.

Had I known these were going to be there (my first time up Mam Tor) i'd have packed my DA*200...as it was i had to make do with my SMC A 35-105 f/3.5 sans hood.
