Uncategorized – Trekking and Tradewinds

I have done a few posts on my journey into paragliding… First flights / Club Pilot / Dune Du Pilat / Oludeniz …but for this post I wanted to talk about how instrumental my mate Dave has been in my paragliding progression. I didn’t know what paragliding was until Dave started flying View this postContinue reading “My Mate Dave”

Slovenia

Before I went to Slovenia I thought of it as the gateway to Eastern Europe, but in reality it is so much more than that. This small country has been in the EU since 2004, so is not that different to it’s surounding countries of Austria, Italy, Croatia and Hungary.

Heart warming story about how she got off the couch and gave it a go, eventually progressing to running distance races. Honest and not sugarcoated but told with humour and humility. Will get you digging out your trainers. 4*

I first picked up a kite at uni 8 years ago, but the instructorsContinue reading “Giving up something you love”

The main character has crippling anxiety to which some may relate but it borders on the absurd. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. Ending seems very short compared to the start. 3*

Snowden in the snow

Had a fun little weekend up in North Wales this week for a friend’s birthday. On Saturday we intended to hike Snowden from the miners trail, but aware of the forecast we decided this route would be best because if conditions were against us it would still be a nice walk even without sumitting. UnfortinatelyContinue reading “Snowden in the snow”
