last time was over 8 years ago in Tignes - it's probably fit for the bin by now
I did my basic paragliding corse from Bourge St Marice just down the valley from Tignes. I love the French Alps, cant get away from there, nearly applied for a job in Mc Donalds last time i was there just so i could stay! I dont speek any french at all though bit of a problem, i blame my school for teaching me german. I cant speek a word of German eather.
I did just search the glider you have, not alot of hits! Shouldent perish too much in the dark though? I know UV destroys them.
And....i just bought this....GIN GLIDERS SPRINT PARAGLIDING PARAGLIDER BRAND NEW on eBay (end time 08-Mar-10 21:17:56 GMT)
Went with the new one in the end, got a very good deal on it, i visited the seller about a fortnight ago and he got all his gliders out and showed me all his kit and gave me some advice as hes an experienced paraglider pilot. The new one should last much longer if i look after it, i dident want to take the obvious risks with a used one. Just need to get a harness and reserve!
What time do you want to leave on Friday Andrew? Im yet to find an open camp site, the two i wanted to go to open late March. :doh: Its ok ill find at least one from the tourist board. We will have to book befor we get there for friday as we will get there late, and hope they let us in! Also then we can get fresh with the facilities for the rest of the weekend. Saturday night we could possibley do a wild camp, would be a good test of practicality. We will just pull over on a lane up high (ill designate a pint prior), will be a good mock up of what we will face in the Atlas regions.
I'll try and get done by 4pm, but 5pm is probably more realistic
Plans sound great
Just got back from the workshop, absolutely knackered. We have got to the stage where a few extra hands would be very helpful, so if you are available wed night it would be much appreciated. Will try and recruit Darren too.
Must get some shut eye
Hehehe! That sounds like a laugh, Will wave as you go overhead
Any luck with the MOT yet?
That time sounds fine, Simon and Emma are still not sure if there coming, i would very much like them to come to get some idea of what its going to be like. If they do come they have work hours on friday too.
Will try and give you a hand wednesday eve but im preaty buissy myself, MOT is booked for thurs, parts will arive tomorrow or wed, so got to get them in. The Jeep is coming along too, it runs now. (We think!) Gona wire up the lights possibly in a minuit, the suspension is waiting on new bolts, had to attack it with the BIG grinder, again parts will be here tomorrow and i need to get that done at some point.
Hey Rich is Trevor bringing the Jeep to the lakes, if anything needs a shakedown it's the Jeep
No sure you would walk away from a paraglider reserve chute... If you landed on land that is...

No hes not, but i have full confidence in the jeep for some obserd reason, perhaps just because its comfertable inside.
