Bullseye! The target goes tumbling down!

[brian day]

Please excuse me a moment of self indulgence and proclamation.
My paragliding year is the same as the financial year, (April to April) for no other reason than, thats when I passed my CP. So as this year draws to a close I have a warm feeling of satisfaction
I set myself a target at the beginning of the year to accumulate more hours this year than in any of my previous years. By the end of the summer I moved the goal posts to acquire 100 hours within the year. All looked well,,,,,until,,,,,,March.
BUT!!!!! last weekend,,,,YES!!!!!!
The hundred hours for the year came up, with a week to spare!!!!!
Sorry to those on the ground saying 'Come down Brian we want to go home', no, I knew exactly what I needed and wouldn't come down.
Thanks to the 'Van Gang' for making the target more possible and cheaper!
Now, on to next year!
PS; All achieved while holding down 4 jobs, supporting a very understanding wife, 2 dogs, 2 kids but thankfully no mortgage and with 6 weeks off chasing around the globe in search of waves and snow.
Flew on 6 different wings, (demos, you don't call me Sten)
2 Harnesses, (thanks ebay)
Flew in France for the first time
and numerous new sites, including the Homegrown, what a weekend.
Best of all.....All in great company.
Thanks again to everyone for help and support
