|
be aware (if you want it as a hobby) that it is VERY weather dependant. ie. you may find only a few days a year overlap with your times you want to do it.

Yeah, I learned 3 years ago, not been again since.. It is very weather dependant and rather expensive (oh sorry, we run scoobs - price shouldn't matter)..
Its top mate, I fell in love with flying.. Do look down.. its top being 1500ft above a town and seeing your feet then only the town below.. Wear protective clothing / padding on the front of your shoulders - I had really bad bruising for about 3 weeks (I learned in a week in the Alps).. erm, thats about it really, just go and enjoy.. Let us know how you get on... |
only joking, its cool, if you want to look down you should try base-jumping ;)
|
well i went , and guess what ?
there was no wind , nothing not even a brezze, must be a first for north wales that one . going to try again in two weeks , had a good 4 mile walk as well:-) |
told you!

Well it'll almost certainly be too strong next time.
We have a good guy, Mark Dann/Beyond Extreme, at the Mynd here in Shropshire and he has a local school for local people. :) |
Hi Evo kid.
Who you taking a lesson with? My dad trained with Rob (can't remember his surname - he was in the Army I know that much) in the Conwy area. Now he flies around the Clwydians mostly. Good luck with it :) Ben |
