Paragliding

[Adrian]

any paragliders out there the reason I ask is I have just got into the sport and went to my local paragliding/handgliging club and the first 2 people I met were electricians was this just chance or are we like minded

There's a chap lives near us paralysed from the neck down after a paragliding accident.

Be careful out there!

Electricians are are all Paragliders....we soar above the other trades!

My 'hobby' took a different direction............Scuba diving:coat

 

[Adrian]

lol

I fancied suba diving but I can't swim

 

[kerching]

Ah, as a Scuba Diving Instructor that would cause me a slight problem. I once taught a bloke who took to diving after he crashed his parachute and had to have some bones in his neck fused. Problem was that he would not listen; thus parachute unpleasantness. He transfered this skill set to diving, same end result. Luckily he decided to give up..... :coat

I love sea fishing but I have to wear a buoyancy jacket because I cant swim I have taken lesson but I cant seem to stop the water going up my nose and down my throat which ends up with me choking and then the panic sets in, my instructor said that I should use a nose clip but I said I wont be wearing one when I fall in when I'm fishing 10 lesson later still the same problem so, I gave up
