Yep I love soaring, I really love those videos of mountain soaring in Colo.
But I'm not likely to have the budget for a sailplane.

So Ive been looking closer at Para gliders and hang gliders.

I came across this neat video of the history of hang gliding.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-hRSUjJFmCc

It included comments by Peter Brock, the racer, car designer.

I didn't realize that he was an early hang gliding enthusiast.
Even said that the thrills of hang gliding were greater than he had ever had on track.

Cheers Richard
