This season, I decided to run the tours with 2 guides. Jamie made a big difference to the way we could get the most from a day in dividing clients of differing abilities. The number of pilots commenting that they thought the tour was the best they had been on or that a particular day had been their best flying etc. felt great.
It was good to welcome back VIP paragliding from British Columbia in late January. But the highlight of the touring season was the 3 week expedition we were running for the British Joint Services Hang gliding and Paragliding centre.
The goal of the expedition was to fly in a Bivi style from Tansen to Kathmandu. Only 220Km as the crow flies, or 1000km if you drive!!
Arriving in February to great weather, we immediately set up Paragliding Boot camp. An intensive 10 days of XC flying followed by more XC flying. We had to get the lads into flying shape. Typical of the British forces, they were more than up for it. Jamie and I tried our best to knacker them out, but each morning they kept coming back for more.
