Just a few holiday photos from Turkey 2006.

The mile high mountain at the back of the resort gave me plenty of time to take some pics.

Check out the shadow of my wing on the road on the left of the pic with the hotels on it.

Cheers guys.

It's the cheapest way to get airborne and is largely unregulated especially with a motor on your back (paramotoring)

Did my training with these guys but there's training centres all over the uk.
Just do it. Within two days training i was up in the air. On the third i was taking my first 600ft flight!

I have a friend whos has one. He had his out one day without a motor on. He landed safely then the wind got hold of his wing ( parachute thingamyjigg ) it pulled him over snapping the arm bone at the shoulder joint ( OUCH !!!! )

Did he use it again ? He sure did and does. spends more time in his plane tho now

A bit like paint balling... Stings like a mofo but you cant wait to go again and thats before you leave..

Nice pics by the way wisey
