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 Tales Of An Unconventional Aviator edition by John Clarke Humor Entertainment eBooks
Rollicking good laugh about the trials and tribulations of the early days of hang gliding. I couldn't stop laughing for the first few chapters, but eventually got control of myself. As a reader, be prepared for numerous side trips as the author wanders off topic, catches himself, reminds you that he knows he got lost, and returns to the story he was telling. It's amazing that he lived through his adventures and was able to remember enough of what happened to write it for you.Product details

Dunge Bottom Tales Of An Unconventional Aviator edition by John Clarke Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
I too was a colleague of John Clarke in the 70s in the UK and this book is a must read for anyone interested in any air sports or who has ever dreamed about flying or who just likes to read a very fun, very truthful book.

Brilliant!! Buy it now!! Met the author in the 80s when I went to the Peak School of Hang Gliding as a teenager, and he tried to teach me how to fly a hang glider. He was a complete ejit then, and its wonderful to find out he hasn't changed a bit. Read the whole book in one 4 hr sitting. Hilarious, and written with all the dry wit and humour of someone who can accurately convey the absurdities of life and human behaviour that we so often overlook. Not just for hangies and microlighters, but a great read for everyone.
Fantastic, a laugh a minute. Live life to the max with the odd hiccup
