Paragliding - Gliding: Wind Direction: Home Wind Stength: 5 - 15mph Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 12C Sea Temperature: Weather: sun/cloud Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Was sat at home at a loose end with nothing to do. Too windy for
hangliding, perfect for windsurfing/kitesurfing but dont have enough kit so
I thought i'd get my dads old paraglider out and give it a bash in the
field.
Got my bro & my dad to kite me up into the sky with the 20metre rope we had
and I was easily getting 20ft up in the air with the strong gusts coming
through. Was just practicing groundhandling really and it was a right
handful in the gusty conditions.
A nice little introduction to the sport. Just a few more practice days on
that and i'l head to the hill one day when theres no wind.
