Adventure - Hang Gliding

‘We’ll get your feet off the ground!’
Hailed as the fast growing fun adventure sport! Paragliding offers thrills beyond belief – taking off from a hilltop or mountain, pilots have been able to achieve remarkable flights, such as an incredible 281 km and a record of over 13 hours.
A paraglider is a flexible inflatable ultra-light 6 kg gliding wing – not a parachute – but a genuine aircraft wing in every sense of the word. The pilot inflates the glider, raises it above his head and ensures it is fully open before taking off from a suitable slope. There is no jumping off mountains – but running down a slope in order to get airborne, using the slope in order to get airborne, using the slope exactly like a regular aircraft uses a runway. The pilot then uses a combination of ridge life and thermic lift to stay aloft and can choose to land at the bottom of the very same hill or mountain, or sometimes cover vast distances.
A gyrocopter is a motorised 2-seater paraglider with rotors which uses a short runway for take-off and landing. It is not as weather-dependant as a paraglider, so is able to fly virtually any time.
