Had a great tandem paragliding ride with Jan Minnaar of Cloudbase at the Sedgeview launching/landing site above Sedgefield today - something I have been meaning to do for a long time - great fun and perfect timing before the colder winter air sets in!
I tracked our flight with my GPS and saved it as a "work out" (hardly!) on Sports-Tracker together with some photos.

Here's one of the videos Jan took of us "chillaxing" while we rode a mild thermal to about 300 meters:

Look for me overhead the N2 later in the year as I may get the urge to do the full course. Meanwhile, if you're looking to satisfy a long-harboured thrill, check out the "For the Adrenaline Junky" section of this website for more ideas!
