Synopsis
Since the late 1980s, when the idea of flying beneath a brightly coloured parachute wing first began to catch on, paragliding has become one of the fastest growing sports in Europe. From simple parascending beginnings - when the adventurous could strap into a standard parachute harness and be towed into the air behind a speed boat or a jeep - has evolved a fully fledged form of true flight. Today's sophisticated wings now share the sky with hang gliders, sailplanes and other craft, soaring hill and mountain slopes or riding the thermal currents across open country. Now paragliding is regarded as probably the purest and most exhilarating form of flight. In this book, instructors Ian Currer and Rob Cruickshank give the budding flier the low-down on how to get through basic training and master the art of soaring flight.
