Al_fresco Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hi All Been looking around this forum for the past few months and decided its about time to come out of the shadows and introduce myself! My names Al, 26 from Poole, Dorset. I've always been interested in flying (Despite a morbid fear of heights!) but found it cost prohibitive, toyed with the idea of microlights for while but even thats a huge initial expense! So as I was walking the dogs down the beach a few months ago I saw a paraglider and watched him for about half hour or so and thought it looked like fun! So 2011 will be the year I take to the sky's, well at least thats the plan! Is there any anyone on this site from my area paramotoring? noticed some old threads from a couple of guys in wimborne but nothing since and also no county club Any pointers or advice would be most appreciated, I have not got to far with booking lessons though I have pm'd simonw. Other than that, a BIG HELLO to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hello Al, I've been flying for 3 years now, it's totally addictive. Even if it's a bit of a treck to your nearest instructor just do it, it's brilliant fun. If you didn't see my post trying to describe some of the feelings (it's very difficult to adequately decribe in words) see: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5664 Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
