ESPclub member Alan C thermal & ridge flying his red Vertex in Fife, Sunday 13th July 2008..... Precision Paragliding providing an alternative to the BHPA since the late 90's for BHPA & ex-BHPA pilots wishing to RE-train or new pilot entering the sport who do NOT wish to risk the standards/accident rates produced by 'normal' PG theory, practices & procedures!
The 'base wind' by that time of the day at the hill top was only around 15kts so in fact very easy launch conditions, both solo (Alan & Ali) and tandem for Maureen and Murray.
It was mainly due to it getting too thermic for further solo training inland (Maureen) that this was one of the last flights before switching to a coastal site for more training for Maureen.
NB. I deal with the radio contact with ATC when we are flying here and above 300ft [AGL hill top], so in the MATZ.
