india 2003 - paragliding
a summer teaching, June to September 2003

can't see the video? download flash here

Paragliding over the gorgeous Himalayan mountain range in India, from 3,400 metres, is a truly magnificent experience - and it cost next to nothing when I visited in 2003 (see India page).

The fantastic affordability was partly due to us choosing to do a jump with some near 'cowboys' who seemed to be slightly intoxicated and/or had a death wish. The video, above, is worth watching for the comedy value of my mid-air conversation with 'Aman', with whom I shared a worryingly shoddy harness. The flight lasted around 20 minutes.
