Paragliding: Algodonales, Day2, part1

[@andrewcummings7822]

Superb video Peter, the area looks absolutely beautiful. I liked the briefing, very interesting to hear the teams flying backgrounds, experience etc. Nice take off area, great views, must have been stunning to fly. Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed.

Like Luisma he was really nice guide. Hope to fly there again as it is really lovely place with lovely people. Cheers Andrew 🙏

What a lovely country and town and house in which you stayed. I loved the the large outdoor roof sitting area. It was nice to hear the pilots detail their experience and hopes. I was particularly impressed with Sandra who as a mature middle aged lady paraglider must be a rare sight in a sport predominantly composed of men! Bravo Sandra! Just seeing the landscapes and blue skies and sunshine, Spain really has something special which too often we lack here in the UK. Thanks for posting Peter, I look forward to part 2 with the flights! :-)

Thank you and yes it is rare to have girls in this sport! Sandra did well and passed her CP license 🙏 we need nice weather ! Blue sky 🙏

OMG so many memories from those sites and starts!! My best holidays ever yet!! Few years ago I did a PG curse over there. Algo is the best place to start or just polish your skills in Europe (maybe also Portugal). Whole area is absolutely beautiful. Peter, you'd definitely go there more often!!!! Thanks and can't wait for more :)

I took off from your landing field on a motor and flew up to the peak of the mountain that you can see at 12:03 in the distance. VERY poor weather that day! Started raining while I was up high and getting picked up with the clouds, eventually landed with a soaking wet glider!

[@PeterHoldy]

Jason you was lucky to be aliev! Wet glider can be really dangerous. I ❤ that place there, lots of fun i had + i did not cheating with engine on my back , i worked hard with Amigos Vauchers 🤪😘

[@JasonHam41]

Peter Holdy sun was shining when I took off.... Weather moves in really fast in those mountains! Did you fly with the birds there? Their lovely to watch soaring the ridge above Algodonales town in the evening.

[@PeterHoldy]

@@JasonHam41 i nearly crash to those big / massive birds 🤣. Then spanish pilots told me that is good idea to scream on them 🤪 love that place/ weather /food / people 🙏. Yes weather can change really quickly in mountains !

My buddy! My other friend lost his wing in a big tree. He is pouting now. Taking days to get it back. Good to see you friend!

[@PeterHoldy]

That is shame. People need be careful all the time. Beautiful flying sites but can be tricky landing and take offs. 👌 Hope your friend will be flying soon with his glider 🙏

[@ranman58635]

@@PeterHoldy , he does not believe it will be flying anymore. Only kiting now, he said.

[@PeterHoldy]

@@ranman58635 he will ! One you taste flying you will never walk on earth not to looking up to find the day which you will fly again. So i believe he will be back in the Sky 👌

[@ranman58635]

@@PeterHoldy I'm sure he will fly again on a new wing.

[@ranman58635]

You are being more yourself on camera. Good video. Waiting for footage of the flight.
