Hi Thomas, was a great flight, the day before I managed El Bosque to Ronda via twin peaks. Absolutely loving the Bonanza2 Its got superb performance and a great glide, but it is definitely more lively than the Nevada, took a couple of small collapses, a bit more violent than the Nevada, a bit mire 'hands on' but nothing too scary and we flew in some rough air before
Hi Bob, All prices are found here:- www.airnav.co.uk/trial_lessons.html I was thoroughly satisfied with the price and tuition I recieved, I have been back a few more times
Hi Steve, What an amazing adventure. I'm planning on paragliding Aconcagua as well and was wondering if I can chat with you for a few minutes. I have found that apparently a permit is required to fly down but the authorities have been non-responsive to my requests. Did you have to get a permit? Would you be so kind in sharing your experience with me on a brief call? I can be reached on my email: anuar(do t)heberlein(a t)gmail(do t)com (You'll have to pardon the format but those buts can really spam your mail) Thanks, Anuar
Nice editing man, I'd love to have the chance to go up over Malvern at some point under canopy. Ive never done it before but where better to do it in my home town. How did you get into it?
Hi Christopher, Thanks for your kind words... appreciated. Paragliding.. hmmm... I have to warn you in advance, if you start this sport, it WILL change your life - fact, and I believe that once you have flown a Paraglider you will never be able to remove the feeling/sport from your brain - health warning over. How did I get into it?, not easy to answer, but I guess it's always been a dream, to fly, unaided by engines etc. I think it's something that some people want - or dont, if you want it (and I mean WANT it) then you will fly, it's that simple. You will need to get proper training, your life depends on it. The training can take anywhere between 12 days and xxx years depending on the weather but more importantly, how hungry you are for it. give me your FB detail and I can share lots more with you if you are really interested.
I see. Nice idea man. Seems to work really well. I had a bolt hole in frame which has the thread to match gopro bolt. Sadly you need a fare few extensions to get it out of the way. Being a road bike too, not sure the rear mech guard can be mounted the same way.
Where did you mount and what connectors did you use when mounted down level with pedals? I have tried a few options but my heal keeps hitting the camera.
Hi Jay, I used the GoPro seatpost mount. I have one of these steel 'U' shaped wire guards that protects the rear mech (about 6mm dia steel) and clamped the seatpost clamp around that, it was a bit of a bodge to be honest but the mech guard is far enough rearwards to let your heel miss the camera - well, you've seen the results
Hi Glyn, Long Time.... Yes, the Nevada is my new weapon of choice, its halfway between the Golden and the Aspen but still in the 1/2 (b) category - but with a glide of 9.5+ and only 3kph slower than the Aspen its just what I want - I'm loving it :-)
I have watch you so many times sitting at Savinka (last house along the road to Gialasi, at Panayitsa Beach) Really nice to see how it looks from above! Think we have in fact met in Epidavros!
