Power to your Paraglider

It was an early start at 07.00 for the power brigade with Pete L, Mark F, Micelle K and myself assembling in the field along with Andy S who had come along to train us on Paramotors. An introduction to the units was followed by a good DI system then the basic start up procedures, do's and don'ts. Next it was units on our back's and a session of running around the field under power with no wing to get the feel of things, surprisingly different. Then on with the wings and the unit and ground handling with reverse launches before turning into forward stance, again a different world. Then for the big one .... unfortunately (or was it fortunately) the wind had increased to a level where first attempts at flight were deemed unwise so we settled for the theory side of things. A bit more ground work confirmed it was on the breezy side so we had an early finish giving us time to reflect on our new found skills in readiness for tomorrow... watch this page.
