Thermalling (a paraglider) with sailplanes is fun. We go round the inside, they go round the outside, we wave whilst outclimbing them
Whilst I can see the initial climb rate being better with a paraglider - at Combe Gibbet near Hungerford we always seemed to be higher than the hang gliders and paragliders whilst local flying
