Blog2023 ≫ Walking along the beach last night I heard a strange buzzing...

I was doing my Duolingo as I walked back from Sandgate yesterday and I heard a strange buzzing news over my shoulder, towards the sea. I thought it would be a motorised surfboard, as I've seen them, or maybe a jet ski. But no it was this guy:

Paramotor flying along the beach in Sandgat

I had to look it up, it's called a paramotor. and hey it's the day of pay today.

It's the thing Mo has in The Simpsons when he rescues Homer from the boxing ring.

There were actually two of them, flying along the coast, really low down too. They flew up to West Hythe or so, turned round and buzzed back again.
