Sconchy Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Just wondered if anyone on the site is into Paragliding? I took up the sport along with skydiving and having a ball!!! Highly recommended... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Treid to get lessons; waited weeks for the perfect weather then when we go to teh site they cancelled it as the wind was too fast/slow/whatever. Lost interest, but get jealous every time I see hords of them on the Hills near my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I went once near Lake Annecy. Absolutely loved it too. I'd recommend it to anyone who's considering it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I used to do a fair amount of sky diving, I don't get to do it as much nowaday's though but it's still great when I get to do it. . Not tried the gliding, but i'd give it a go given the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condition in the UK aren't the best but you can do it overseas like France at a good price and almost guaranteed the weather there. Thats what I did in June then again last month in Lanzarote...

Chewie Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Looked at it about 10 years ago but had a back injury to sort out. Where did you go to learn? Paravion down in Marlborough? How much does it cost now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my old flames father was well into it, he used to build his own paragliders and turned it into a buisness, he also used to go all over the place winning tournaments and things, scared the sh1t out of me though;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
