Hangliders are more photogenic than paragliders
If Acro was easy they'd call it Cross Country

I've got a full face helmet that would suit you Gary, add a black visor and we could have the club 'Stig'. It would do wonders for that problem you seem to be having with the hair dye. :lol:
See you out there!!!!!

Ah yes a rare shot of two see bound mammals who's only journey onto dry land is during the mating season....

PS Hangliders are definitely more photogenic, photographing paragliders however, requires a good zoom lens as they tend to spend more time away from the earths surface.

Interesting comment Ali...but hanggliders do hold the British records for height gain, XC distance, Out & Returns, Triangles, Goal flights, defined flights and duration.

Theres not much left for the paragliders to have a go at.... :(

You got me there Ron...but John (the Tash) Wallis and Dave still look like a couple of sea bound mammals.
