I used to own my own canopy about 20 yrs ago. Fantastic sport, which combined the thrill of flying, with a love of being on the mountainside.
I used to fly with a group in Derbyshire called "DMC," a great bunch of characters.
A lot of the time is spent on the hillside, in fact I remember some times only spending 2-3 minutes in the air per day, waiting for the wind direction to come on slope.
I gave it up, 'cos I wasn't that good at it. I found that you needed a fair degree of fitness, and agility, which I just didn't have. Also recieved a few relatively minor injuries (broken finger/smashed knee), which, through luck alone, could have been worse.
Having said all that, when you got it right, it was pure magic !!
