I had my first solo flight from a height of 45m on 24th Dec 2008. It was an exhilarating feeling, although short. After 3 days of solo top to bottoms, I now have 15 min of total air time. I'll put up the pictures soon. The sight is Shinde Wadi, around 125km from Mumbai. I also had great fun at the Native Place, home to Nirvana Adventures. https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/native-place-paragliding/ Sat, 31 May 2008 15:59:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/native-place-paragliding/ The actual paragliding while pretty less in the amount of time was a lot of fun. It was hard work too. Day 1 involved learning the parts of the glider and wearing the harness, opening the wing and setting it up. This was followed by about 15 runs from forward launch trying to hold the glider dead centre. Then we moved to a downward slope. By the end of the day, after carrying quite a few kgs for a few kilometres I was totally exhausted. https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/paragliding-part-1/ Thu, 29 May 2008 17:49:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/paragliding-part-1/ I took a 5 day break from my monotonous boredom to go Paragliding. First time pilot, no experience. The location was Native Place, the base for Fly Nirvana, at Kamshet. First it was absolutely worth the money and the remote location and the bad roads. We had a hell of a great time. We ( me and cousin ) were lucky to meet two other people of a similar age - Rishabh and Apoorva.
