XC Paragliding League

Northern Paragliding have agreed to sponsor the paragliding league this year and there are some great prizes on offer. Its time to dust off the cobwebs and get your kit out. The weather is improving and the first DHPC XC flight is still to be made!

Check out the prizes…..

1st Prize: Sup’Air AltiRando Airbag harness

2nd Prize: U-Turn Acro Team Stretch Jacket

3rd Prize: Quick Pack Stuff Sack

In addition to the great prizes above there is a brand new Trophy to be claimed by the pilot who makes the best single defined flight during the season. This is a filght to a pre-defined goal, out and return (out of ridge lift), triangle or similar. This is the “Northern Paragliding Trophy” and will be awarded along with a pair of Paratrekking II boots!

But wait.. we’re still not finished yet.

For the pilots who have never made a total of 100kM in any single season there is the 100k XC Chalenge to be won. Is this the year that you could total 100k ? The reward is the respect of your fellow pilots and a pair of really nice Jubilo Sunglasses with interchangeable lenses.

If you need any new kit for this season then Northern Paragliding will have it. Check out their online shop or call into Dalefoot for help and advice.

So come on, lets go flying.

Accuracy Championship Round-up from Tony

A couple of days struggling with the laptop & time pressures prevented me from emailing at the end of last week.

Friday saw a non-competition day, but lots of flying as part of the Lithuanian Independence day festival. There were paramotors, parachuting, microlights, as well as paragliding. I was lucky enough to get 2 flights, with the aim of flying the Union Jack.
