Yup went paragliding – went to a place – where you go solo on the 1st day – excellent – also took a friend who always wanted to do it too! – he loved it! Always try and help your friends along on the quest too – thats what we’re all here for!
Also did a 2nd day – 7 more days to do before i get my licence.
2nd day was a bit of an eye-opener – got my weight wrong – and the instructors didnt realise it was only my 2nd day! – explanation mark? – could have sued! I went rather high – poo’d my pants – it was kind of like taking a shower in cold water – y’know – when you breath gets taken away? ‘Lorne, you kind of went off the deep end today’ was their comment. hmmmf.!
Anyway, recommend it – it IS totally safe – the wings are pretty sturdy these days – just make sure you get your weight right – and make sure the instructors know what day your on.
