    Really interesting 'tree hoping' Not like back home where the hills are mostly barren and easy to fly close to. No less dangerous though, take your pick- trees or rocks....Thank you so much for sharing Brian.

    Amazing flight mate! 😎 how were you so confident to soar those ridges in such light lift, what were the landing options below like?

    Nice informative vid.clips. At what time of day did you launch? As I'm looking at the weather fc's and it looked to be super inverted...

      @jakegeldenhuys5393 thanks very much. On a good day we are take off around 10ish.
      On the slow days we wait till a bit later. The last 2 days haven't been very good. But I'm hoping today will be better

    Great video! I'm looking for a beginner A wing to fly in Bir. Any contacts would be a big help-thanks!

      Thanks mate. I live in the uk. I don't know where the best place for you to get one from. There's people that teach paragliding on the landing field in Bir. You will see them teaching people to ground handle. They might be able to help?
      There's also a lot of places on the Internet. Sorry I can't be more help. Good luck

    Great video and sport, but how the hell you don't hit someone flying in such crowded areas. I think rather than enjoying the actual flight and scenery, I would be too stressed out and concentrating on not being hit or hitting someone else. Other than that, what a great way to fly, soaring like condors.

      @Pixelatedworld-iu2dd thanks mate. Yes it does happen sometimes. Ypu need to be constantly looking every where. There are some bad pilots here that fly the wrong way in the thermal and don't look where they are going.
