A Conversation for Learning to Paraglide
Prepare to fly
Hoovooloo Posted Aug 31, 2020
I wrote three books about paragliding before I stopped due to injury.
"Prepare to Fly" is aimed at the new pilot, before they've even qualified actually, aiming to tell them all the stuff that isn't in the other books, the stuff they'd otherwise just have to pick up by word of mouth (like I did). In excess of 1000 copies sold across three editions since 2012.
"Flying the Wainwrights" recounts my adventures in 2013, bagging all 214 peaks in the Lake District by glider. Couple of hundred copies sold.
"Speedflying in the Lake District" is a site guide for people who want to walk up a hill but be back in the pub five minutes after they leave the summit - complete info on over forty sites where you can use a small, fast paraglider to descend entertainingly. All proceeds from that go to Keswick Mountain Rescue.
