They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words…

Well the photo composite images may not be made of a 1,000 images and while it is just a very small snapshot of some of the flying and training our members have enjoyed so far this year, I hope it helps to inspire many more Scots & visitors to Scotland to take up the branch of ‘free flight’ aviation I am passionate about, that is of course Paragliding!

When not flying I take commercial photographs all over Scotland, any of images taken while we are out flying & training, are available FOC to anyone wishing PG photo’s, be it for press use or in their own advertising to promote Visiting Scotland, simply contact me at PBM Photographic.

The club, ESP (East Scotland Paragliding Club) linked with training provided at Precision Paragliding sees the members out flying on well over 200 days most years and students typically flying around 19 out of every 20 days they come out to train, in a large part thanks to the fantastic work of the MET office aviation forecast and of course greatly helped by having many 100’s of flying sites many of which are ‘Top Drivable’ in the clubs 4×4 pickup.

So far in 2007 (with still a couple of months to go!) I’ve personally flown almost 600 hours while some of the students are getting close to making 100 hours in their first year from starting training/re-training!

While the flying in Scotland does tends to slow down a bit as the nights draw in over the winter season this Blog and the club/training video clips on YouTube (www.ParaVideo.co.uk) I will be posting, will keep the Blog visitors up to date on our of winter flying in Scotland and Fly/Ski days, as well as looking back to some of the UK and abroad flying trips members have had in 2007.
