Wouldn't it be great to jump off here with a hang glider. Or more to the point, wouldn't it be nice to have the courage to.

Nice shot by the way! You can see forever.

One of my friends used to own a microlight, it was a two seater and he took me flying several times and we always seemed to end up flying over or around the Malvern Hills on the way home. It was often turbulent over those hills as it is when flying over most hills, I remember us dropping about 100ft once... very scary but I still went again though. I also flew over the hills in a hot air balloon once and we landed not very for from where I took this photo... but not on the hills of course.

That there is the Vale of Evesham, Heather. John, is that peak in the distance Cleeve Hill?

Chris... I was facing east, the hill range on the far horizon is certainly the Cotswolds. I couldn't pin point Cleeve Hill but it would be somewhere on the horizon to the right.... maybe a little way out of shot though. I took the shot from Ragged Stone Hill which is at the southern end of the Malvern Hills, it's only 3 miles from me so I often go there for some peace and quiet and take my binoculars as well as a camera.... sit and eat a sandwich and just chill out. I can think of plenty of worse places to go.
