We finally gritted our teeth and made the climb up Hay Bluff (the short direct route) and were greeted by spectacular views all round - I'm sure I could see the London Eye or was it the effects of the climb and altitude sickness? There were a number of para-gliders and a pair of buzzards keeping them company but the most spectacular visitor was Cossack, a Steppe Eagle,(this link really is worth a look) who his new owner was teaching to fly with the para-gliders. To see him soar and then stoop down to his handler was amazing.
