A cold front came through on Friday and Saturday.  There is snow on the top of the Drakensberg.  Sunday started with a strong North/Northwest wind at about 14h00 the wind swung more Easterly and flying conditions improved to allow a few hours of nice flying.

This weekend was quite nice paragliding at Bulwer again.  On Friday some pilots got to around 900m above take off.  Saturday was quite thermic and nice lift especially in the afternoon.  The guys got about 300m above take off. Sunday was a lot more stable but Hans managed three tandem flights and top landing.

It was another beautiful autumn morning.  The wind is light East it looks like a nice day for paragliding.

Its been a really good week.  Students Rudi and Corne logged 25 flights each in four days flying.  On Saturday Rudi Cronje got to 1900 meter above take off flying from Centocow and flew to Sani Pass. Yesterday Josh flew to Underberg, Himeville and back to the triangle dams.  Philip was 1km short of the Sani Pass Crossroads.

Wild Sky Paragliding offers an introductory (two day) paragliding course.  Starting on the training slope, there is an introductory lecture, demonstration by the instructor, then students pull up the glider with assistance from the intsructor and learn to steer the glider and stop.  Gradually working your way up the training slope,  you will eventually lift off the ground and experience the feeling of free flight.  The course includes at least one flight under guidance on radio.  Thats right, within two days you will already be flying!
