It was tandem paragliding(hangliding) Scott, Olu Deniz in Turkey, 2000m up, it's the top hangliding jump in the world.

Looks to me Ian that you are eyeing the 2nd seat alongside Jacques for next season, I see the training's going well, you are even learning to take on fluids as you go. ;) :D :DD :DD

Wow what an experience, hat's off to you mate, :good: anything higher than a fairground wheel and my knees tremble. :-[

That's amazing.  I did a tandem paraglide here in Switzerland about 5 years ago, but we certainly didn't get altitude like that!  My flight was all of 10 minutes.  I'll have to make a note to make sure we go there if we go to Turkey sometime for holiday.

Gutsy Ian, very gutsy.   :good: :good: :good:

If you go there Scott go with Focus paragliding, they have a perfect safety record.

I guess they don't let Piquet Jr. fly there...

Then they're probably the ones to avoid.  Odds are...   ;)
