shropshire 0 #1 November 4, 2007 I took the Woodpecker up for a couple of flights on my Tandem Paraglider yesterday. I think that he loved it!! what with all the 'Woooots'The weather wasn't brilliant (damp and low wind) so we didn't get more than a couple of extended Top-to-Bottom flights (and the associated long walk back up to fetch the car) but it was great to get out and share the sky Billy : Post the piccies....

shropshire 0 #11 November 4, 2007 Glad you enjoyed it .... it certainly is different. I love both... but is takes some adjustment to go from one canopy to another. (.)Y(.)

woodpecker 0 #13 November 19, 2007 what a shitty day out.....and what fun was had by all. This weekend will hopefully be better (for the pics too) If any of you havent tried it yet....I def. recomend it. Different world, but so much fun. Just takes a little while to realize your under canopy and trying to go up...instead of down.
