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.

It's like when you see one of them penguins sliding of an ice sheet into the water!

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:
