mid life crisis #47

I've just spent a couple of weeks getting over another mid life crisis :C
this time it was getting my paragliding licence :oo:
here's me (early in the course) surviving a dodgy takeoff, (wing collapse)
btw, that hill I'm running off is about 1 kilometer straight down on launch :oo: and the lift took you up another 1/2k YEEEHAAAA!!
anyone else here have regular mid life crisis as well ? and what have you done to accommodate them ?

So I guess thats you laying back making the phone call John :U

Manilla beaut spot didn't think there was a hill there that far up unless your talking the track that winds up the hill :; Mt Kaputar, which reaches an altitude of 1510 metres and you can see it from Manilla.

Well done John at least up there your not Underfoot :;

I would have phrased it "I developed a taste for dangerous high speed machinery,making noxious dust and physical labour". Same thing though...
