Latin Highlands.

Post by paolo »

Hey Folks,

I've made a video with the Glenn Finnand to Inverness area flight done a few weeks ago with some friends.

It was the second flight with my new Gradient AVAX XC2, a fantastic wing if you have the right level for it and has been so far my best acquisition. I noticed a true improvement since stepping down from my previous comp wing SR7.

It's amazing how much has to do flying the right wing for your level as before with a better wing I was flying pretty rubbish, but now that the confidence and relaxation in flight is back, everything came into place.

Hope you enjoy Latin Highlands, and look forward for your comments.

See you all at the LCC next week end!!!

Excellent Video Paulo, really enjoyed it. Nice flight too.
Most inspirational, I've cycled and sailed the Great Glen, I'd love to fly it.
One day...

That's one beautiful video Paolo. Watching it felt almost as good as actually being at cloudbase - conveyed that "mega" day feeling and the spirituality of floating at cloudbase.

Well done fella :D :D

See you at the LCC :)

WOW! thanks a lot for the good things guys (and lady Jan). Very much appreciated all the feedback. Thanks.
It was really a nice day, and there has been lots over in Scotland.

Remember there's always room here for ANY paraglider Pilot to make base camp is if wanted to come to the area (although I'm on the east coast). You just need to put your sleeping bag on the living room or grab the sofa. The house is small but it doesn't matter.

The highlands, is deffinetely a place to go in spring (as well as Parlick :).

See you tomorrow then!
