Go hangliding.I believe it is much safer.There seems to be a general
awareness
that to be a shit hot paraglider pilot you have to of broken your neck and
or back.
At least we have an aluminium skeleton to absorb impacts when we do go in
hard.
Hangliders don't collapsed 50 feet off the deck for no reason either.
I'm sure lots of people will disagree but it's only my opinion.
Aside from that I want to fly like a bird with a wing not a parachute and
lie prone
not bolt upright....
As for transport,don't worry about your car.My mate used to have a 1100cc
Corolla
and he never had any prob's.Just had to be patient and set off before
sunrise.........
