Paragliding in Neiderau - Funny!

:thumbup: One cool way to see the area.

i watched a couple of people take off from the top it did look a bit scarey and she is very brave well done x

It takes me an hour to download that on dial-up, but in this case, was entirely worthwhile. Wheee, what a result! Kim is so brave. I much prefer to be within 3 or 4 feet of the ground.

Now, here is the curious bit ~ I was skiing down the Merky and saw it! I was sure at the time it was a bail out, but it came Ok. It just didn't connect at the time, - I hadn't met Keith and Kim then. I do remember the thought ~ "another nutcase!"

I was going up on the Gondola a little earlier with Jurgen, and he was trying for the umpteenth time to persuade me to have a paraglide. On most occasions, the conversation revolves around the price he would charge for a Niederau regular. On this occasion I suggested that he would have to meet two conditions:-
~ his wife would be the pilot
~ I would be in the rear :shock: :twisted:

Hats off to Mrs Ell, good videoing Ell.

And that is still the best wedding photo, (outside of my sons, and my own, hastily), ever.

Well done Mrs E :D

Elegant and effective :mrgreen:

Not sure I would do it. I did a tandem freefall jump in Spain 2 years ago from about 14,000ft into cloud. Never been so frightened in my life, in no hurry to repeat it.

I'm sure Jurgen would do you a good deal. Having said that, I wouldn't have done it even if he was paying me :shock:
