| Flight details: | Just before take off a paragliding went into a spin in the bowl from about 700 ft, he only just managed to pull out,,, lucky man! (He only had a couple more meters to go ) looked very scary I thought he must have been a very experienced pilot to try and sort it out rather than chuck his chute,he's very lucky if it was chance! Anyway today's flight ,started off crowded but got better.hard work but rewarding. |
