Default New Hang Gliding Book Release

Dunge Bottom: Tales Of An Unconventional Aviator
The new book by John Clarke that is attracting 5 star Amazon reviews.
A must buy for all hang gliding and ultralight enthusiasts!
“If this doesn’t raise a smile I don’t know what will”
“Read from start to finish in one day”
“Satisfying read for any and all”
Available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and www.crookedhatpublishing.com

Bleriot, Lindbergh, Johnson. Now the name Clarke is set to join the
pantheon of flying legends.
Forty years ago hang gliding and microlighting were in their infancy.
They were sports dominated by adventurers, eccentrics and the
occasional lunatic. Participants developed and flew their own aircraft
designs, the attrition rate was high but still these brave men and
women were united in their passion for flying and their determination
to get off the ground. One such man was John Clarke. Bored with his
life as a Quantity Surveyor and determined to be the kind of man his
wife had just run off with (but lacking the physique to be a part time
wrestler) he built his own craft and took to the skies. His subsequent
adventures provided answers to many of life's questions including:
Can one survive a freefall in a micro light from five hundred feet?
Do the French cheat at everything?
Can dogs hang glide?
Can you find love during intensive Physiotherapy?
John Clarke is a former hang gliding and microlight instructor who for
twenty eight years owned the Peak School of Hang Gliding in Wetton,
Derbyshire. Dunge Bottom is the story of his early life in amateur
aviation, the triumphs, disasters and often hilarious events that he
took part in and witnessed. The stories embody the best of British
eccentricity and adventure, guaranteed to make you want to take to the
skies.

Dunge Bottom, the ideal read for the flyer who has it all!!
