No time for running with 850 kilometres of driving today. But did sneak in a taste of paragliding. Was wondering if thsi is a good summer sport for Bendigo. We have lots of thermals, light winds, many steep and bare hillsides and plenty of landing areas. In teh hang gliding craze of the 1970s the local flyers created quite a few launch sites on hills like Tarrengower, Alexander etc.
Loved the experience of taking a step and launching into the air on an updraft. Bad news is that after 15 minutes I was suffering motion sickness. Not sure if it is a good idea now.
Here is me a micrometre from spewing. You can appreciate the design feature in tandems.. the passenger at the front.
