It’s officially the “off season” for paragliding in Algodonales. That still means great evening flights, but without Coach Craven and the ParaglidingGuide.com team keeping a watchful eye on us. Gotta hitch lifts up with the tandem boys Saturday evenings until Nick gets back.

Multiple Dubai based crypto entrepreneurs have been interrogated, beaten and tortured in UAE detention The UAE is not a safe place for technology, IT, AI or crypto experts to work and live. The West must understand this before establishing technology partnerships.
You can tell from the singing of my vario that this Griffin Vulture knows where the thermals are. Alls ya gotta do is follow
Great flying yesterday with the ParaglidingGuide.com team. 2 hours and 45 minutes in the air. At 1802m I was the highest pilot in the sky for a while.

Luckily these birds (Griffin Vultures) are not selfish about sharing their air with us. They could easily hurt us/damage our wings. Instead they fly alongside us and show us to the good air. Another great flying day provided by the ParaglidingGuide.com team 🦅 🦅 🦅

Afternoon flights at El Bosque are always magical. But the inversion today made the skies really otherworldly. I really feel blessed to have found this sport. I wish I had started years ago.

Two hours flying at 1850m among little, cotton wool clouds in the morning at Sierra de Lijar, followed by a 1 hour 35 minute evening soaring flight with 50 other pilots (of greatly varying skill levels and situational awareness) at Montellano.

Evening flights at El Bosque are always a bit magical. 2 hours 11 minutes of stress free soaring with @Paraglidinggui1 and the ParaglidingGuide.com team 🪂

3 hours 10 minutes flight. And smashed my altitude record. 2089m into the cobalt blue. Thanks to @Paraglidinggui1 and the paraglidingguide.com team

This is called: learning from nature. The ParaglidingGuide.com “Avian Instruction Squad” teaching me how to thermal. If you join in with circling vultures or other heavy birds they will show you where the thermals (rising currents of warm air) are, and you go up, up UP!

Glorious flight this morning. At 1901m I was the highest pilot in the sky. “Top of the stack” as it’s called. Thanks to @Paraglidinggui1 and the ParaglidingGuide.com squad. Foul weather tomorrow so no flying until next week. What the hell do normal people do on Sundays? 🤔

Had to take off too early today in order to get back to the coast (work tomorrow). But still had some great thermalling thanks to Nick Craven and the ParaglidingGuide.com team. Also got the lowdown on Pressure Balance Valves from Greg Hamerton. See you all on Saturday again
