conor Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 hello sorry nothing to do with shooting! few pics from holidays, jumped off a 1600m mountain (if i can remember correctly!) took over an hour in the back of an open back truck to get to the top. talk about a rough road! front wheels of truck lifted off the ground too many times for my liking! was six of us jumping all with an instructor each. two indian fellas (english) annoyed the **** out of me the whole way up blowing **** about how they were so looking forward to it, not scared, bla bla, waving a video cam around. me being sick from vodka and red bull probally didnt help my mood! finally got up there talk about a view! was not nervous at all, due to hangover! took half an hour to get back down loved every second of it! when i landed one of the fellas was passed out and had ****** himself! maybe its because im irish but i was delighted! really recomend the para gliding never experienced a feeling like it before! here are a few pics, conor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 That looks brilliant Conor :unsure: We had a paragliding session on an adventure holiday in Austria, and at the end of our 'training' we ran down the side of a moutain until we took off. We flew solo and were only in the air for about 30-40 seconds or so and with someone shouting instructions on a one way radio but it was still great fun.
