Handgliding
OK - yes, I saw the prog on Disco. Wings last night on Speed Handgliding and I want some of that...
Anyone recommend any handgliding centres around me (Surrey). If not around me, then just a good handgliding centre? The Bird is going to love this... :D Hersh |
Hi Hersham boy,
I dont have a television, so I didnt see it, but I am very interested in Hang gliding ! Would have loved to see the footage, Perhaps you taped it ? or someone has it recorded ? I would happily pay any postage and obviously, promise to return said tape. Hope you find the information your looking for, and good luck, it looks great fun :) Regards, Buster |
Handgliding sounds a bit naughty, but I think I know what you mean.
I've seen this prog a few times - and it's very watchable, good luck in your quest, if I spot it going round again I'll press play and record for you.... Steve R |
I've a personal preference for wheels between me and the ground whenever I hit it, for which reason I fly microlights.
But, you will probably find the answer to your quest by phoning 0116-2611322 which is the number for the British Hang-Gliding and Paragliding Association (BHPA). G |
There are 3 down this way Hersh. One club flies off The South Downs at a place called Devils Dyke. Its not far off the A23. There is also another club who fly off the downs at a place near Lewis. Not to far from your neck of the woods at all. I will try and get the numbers for you. There is also a club who fly from Beachy head near Eastbourne. Would reccommend the first two.

errr...hanDgliding????
Sorry Hersh, must have missed something here - would someone care to clarify what hand-gliding involves please. |
OK, OK - HANG gliding!!! :D
Was not really concentrating here, was I? ;) Buster - I'm afraid I didn't but will record it next time it shows (repeat rate is pretty high on Wings). BRL and Genghis - you da men! Much obliged. Cheers Hersh |
Stop knocking Herhsam. I was well into my thirties and already learning to fly before I realised it was HANG-gliding. I too used to use handgliding so it can't be that uncommon a mistake, OK!
|
I know it is a bit far, but i can recommend a good instructor.... in Portugal.:D
The place is quite nice too, a very nice beach :cool:, with the necessary sand-dunes. While we are on the subject of hang-gliding, could you point me to some nice sites/forums ? Thanks |
Here we go...

Hey knobby, I wasn't having a crack at Hersh, just though it was a new form of hang gliding/para gliding etc. that I'd not heard about. No offence intended Hersh.
I have a friend who hang-glided (hang-glid?) & I have to confess that its a case of 'rather him than me!' |
Hey - no offence taken... thanks for all the details chaps. I'll send in a photo of my skinned knees/legs/hands after my first landing!

I did an intro weekend of hang-gliding many years ago. Never got beyone tethered flight, but it was fun.
But I'm biased; I like flying anything, as you've all probably gathered. |
Thanks for the offers of a copy.
Really appreciate that, if your wondering how Im going to watch this video without a TV, my dad has one ! :D Would be a good excuse to visit, Thanks again, Buster |
