Flying start to 2016 for the Thames Valley paragliding pilots

Nik Valiris shares footage of some of the Thames Valley paragliding pilots enjoying their first flight of 2016, ridge-cruising in gentle thermo-dynamic air above the undulating green hills of the Marlborough and Berkshire Downs in the UK.

The all stylishly accompanied by the upbeat music track, Mirage, from electronica band Pryda. Doesn’t it make you feel like you want to get that glider out of its little bag already … ?

If you are thinking of visiting the UK to fly, many of the launch and landing areas are sensitive because of local rules and regulations. If you are planning to fly anywhere in the UK, think to contact the nearest local club. It’s not like in Europe where you can just roll up to launch 😉
