Why I don't chase long xc flights

Relying on public services or other people is just not in me to deal with disappointment. I need things to be certain and in place for me to be able to enjoy the flight. And enjoyment is why I do this! #paraglider #paragliding #trendingreels #crash

I've visted/landed at some great spots & had amazing interactions with locals around the World that I would never have been to had I not landed out in some random spot .. it's part of the fun/journey.

[@Ripstop_pilot]

For some it is. Others maybe not so much 😉 love flying xc, but more if I have a retrieve sorted pre flight.

[@turkeyphant]

Absolutely agree. Part of the fun of travel is the local insights and interactions and the same for xc

My last flight I was the only pilot in the air under 71 years old... What's your reason for not flying?

It was a rowdy climb out

[@williambohm1886]

Where did you get trained?

[@Ripstop_pilot]

I didnt. Bought an ebay wing and learnt myself 😉🤣

[@williambohm1886]

@@Ripstop_pilot isn’t that a bad idea though?

[@Ripstop_pilot]

@williambohm1886 I was kidding, but even after training, it can sometimes feel like that.
I done 5 days with Flysussex. Superb school.
