Hi all,
Just figured out my user name and password, so thought I would post something on the French trip.
1st half of the trip weather was crap, but the company was good. Dune du Pyla is awesome, and will definitely go back to have some fun there, maybe I will try and avoid the 60KPH wind we witnessed while we were there, or buy a smaller wing
My first flight of the trip was to jump of the top of an 8000ft mountain without the aid of an engine. This was the first time I had attempted paragliding, and I loved it.... I had 3 more flights like this, and the only thing that brought me back to earth was cold fingers.
I only had one powered flight, which was a bit bumpy, but as it was a new Baileys 4 stroke paramotor and a new Dudek synthesis wing I was happy. I had never flown either until this trip.
One of the highlights for me was the last nights camp, which was at a French motorway service station in the rain. Couldn't be assed to pack up a wet tent in the morning (6am) so I just packed it neatly into the nearest rubbish bin...
Overall I had a fantastic time and would recomend this type of trip to anyone. Thanks to Simon, Pete and Witters.
Looking forward to the photos and videos.
Cheers
Paul
