Villena paragliding




A professional photographer of the town of Villena was present to make foto's of our flying. Soon under the most beautiful castle of Villena there will be a museum with all sports activities in the region. Climbing, via ferrate, and paragliding, amongst other more mainstream sports like bullfighting.

A bit of a gamble, a small gamble, wanting to fly on our own, without stress or us stressing others. Knowing that there was an exam fgor beginners pilots to get their club pilot license at Palomaret.
And it worked all according to plan.
A northwesterly site, leaving us space to chill untill the sun was warming up its faces. First time on this site for most of us, and immediately bingo, with transitions to the village of Biar. Smooth climbs, up to 600 m above take off.

We never get those kind of thermals in England, was one of the quotes today.
