Shackleford Turkey Burner
The event is organised by www.trailbreak.co.uk and they have 3 route options, Short, Medium and the Full Route with distances of 25km, 43km and 50km respectively.

Packing for Air Transport
In February 2018, I travelled to Lanzarote from England's Gatwick Airport, taking my relatively new Wills Wing U2 160 with me, in doing so; I packed my glider using many of the tips and experiences of others as a reference. Fortunately, my glider survived the trip there and back so I wrote this guide as a reference for others.

Lanzarote 2018
When I learned I was headed to Lanzarote there was only one thing I really wanted to do, fly the Famara cliffs! The moment I had crossed the Valley of Doom and my glider began to climb, I had met my objective and I buzzed with childlike excitement! Even if the weather for the rest of the week did not play ball, I was more than content flying Famara!
