Better still (in my opinion) you contact a paraglider himself, as I did in 2008 when I flew tandem off the hill near Taucho. The guy who took me is very experienced and a nice guy as well. Difficult to book a specific time and date well in advance as whether or not they fly depends entirely on the weather, particularly the wind direction.
The guy I flew with is called Fran and his website is

I wasn't aware that Fran had stopped flying but a friend of mine flew with this guy last year so here's another one for you to contact.

So, who are you flying with, might be a useful contact for other Forum members? I contacted www.para42.com and a guy called Henry got back to me, he speaks English he was very helpful said they can do a gift voucher and you pay the day you go to fly, thats great.

This has to be the most super experience. There is a group over here from Poland right now. they come every year and have a really great time. Not sure I am brave enough to do it though.

I have to agree with you there, It looks great but its not for me, we have lived here almost 6 years and my partner and I have watched them from our house and he always says I going to do that one day, so now he will.

Is taking up your own camera allowed I wonder?
Is taking up your own camera allowed I wonder? It said in any the other adverts I looked at not to forget your camera so I don't think this one will be any different.

Yes it is but from my experience you'll need to have it hanging (securely) around your neck as you need both hands free for take off.

No need for your own camera.
I flew with Henry last Friday. It was great! My first time. Can't wait to go some more.
A camera is included in the price. I took my own SD chip so was able to come away with my video. Otherwise you may have to wait 'til they can use a computer to transfer it over.
It was just over 1.2GB - 11 mins long. Bit short but it's luck-o-the-draw with wind direction/strength, etc.
Cheers, Bill.
