Much to the surprise of many people, and very much to my own amazement, I made a dawn ultralight flight over Mont St Michel.
It was a breathtaking experience – both physically and emotionally. Raising your visor when flying into the wind really does make breathing tricky, but that’s the only way to take photographs!
The views were wonderful, the flight was smooth and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Twenty minutes at around 900 feet is a truly exciting way to spend dawn, and an experience I intend to repeat.
How to follow in my wings:
Fly with Didier Hulin at ULM-Mont-Saint-Michel
Do a photo workshop in Normandy & Brittany with Tim Mannakee (or one of his other great trips)

I can usually cope with heights if I have something to hold on to. But I was worried I might freak out on this tiny open thing! Great pilot though – he would have taken me back if I had paniced. But it was too wonderful for fear!

what a truly elegant castle. It looks like I always think ‘real’ castles should, with turrets and a high wall and arrow slits. Elegant, just elegant.

Unbelievably good. And I was very lucky with the weather. It was cloudy most of the day but allowed the sun through for my flight.
