Cap Blanc Nez (literally "Cape White Nose" in English) is a cape on the Côte d'Opale, in the Pas-de-Calais département, in northern France. The cliffs of chalk are very similar to the white cliffs of Dover at the other side of the Channel in England. Cap Blanc Nez does not protrude into the sea like a typical cape, but it is a high point where a chalk ridge has been truncated by the sea, forming a cliff that is topped by an obelisk commemorating the Dover Patrol which kept the Channel free from U-boats during World War I.

Some KAP after retrieving the kites from our wrecked car, earlier that day. The wind was still quite strong but mild enough for the Levitation Light delta which appeared to be 100% OK (and so did the Triton). One day after our severe car crash. Fortunately no fatal injuries, mainly battered metal on the 3 cars that were involved.
