Yesterday, after work, I made a side trip to ikarus, the paragliding school and club I joined earlier this year.
During march I had started preparatory training for paragliding, followed by my first basic stage from 6 to 10 April, teaching me the basics of how to handle and fly a paraglider.
So yesterday I went to buy paragliding equipment so that I could fly and practice without having to rent school equipment every time. Now I think I got lucky, as I managed to buy the same equipment that I had already been using during my stage, barely used and still fit to last me quite a while, I can't wait to test it.
I also signed up for the next stage already, which is the advanced stage in juli and will probably be signing up for two more in September, which is a week of safety followed by a week of thermal stage. Next to those there will also be ikarus fly days on most weekends, and I live right next to the schorre in Boom, which is great for ground handling paragliders, so I'm sure to be (training for) paragliding allot this summer.
Last night I also managed to upload a selection of pictures from the April stage, so if your interested, head over to the picassa web album.
