shropshire 0 #1 July 14, 2009 Last bit ...... On our way home from the South of France we just sort of popped into Switzerland for a few days, to see friends and do some flying. If you are ever in the area of Verbier and wantto do some flying (solo or Tandem), I can highly recommend 'The Lads' at Verbier Summits ... very professional crew and a right good laugh. The weather was amazing ... low pressure... big strong thermals which gave us some excellent flying ... well, see for yourself ..... Clicky (.)Y(.)
