Flying because
Started with the initial idea, to shorten the way down by a nice glide. After the years and several pause‘s I am still fascinated to go uphill or climb or do a ski tour and carry my spiffy little glider with me to take the way down by air.
Goals
Will compete on a more “professional / advanced “ level, will show the “younger” that age is not competing “killer”, will improve my skills - as I do per each flight ….
Successes
Passed thru almost 30years without a harmful injury!
Fly with others Fly better lines Decision making Improve safety

I started paragliding because of Hike and Fly, the chance to fly down after a hike or trip in the mountains.
I've also been doing lots of mountaineering and fly, as well as ski tour and fly.
Competitions
I've always wanted to do hike and fly competitions, I enjoy the combination of being physically fit and also using flying skills. I'd like to meet more like minded people that we can inspire and push each other. p
Goals
XC Flying So far I've only had limited experience and success in flying xc. I plan to focus on this a lot this year. I've attended an xc camp, and will do some more courses in March. My longest flight to date was only 30km.
Competition Flying I'm really drawn to hike and fly competitions, I want to participate in more competitions.
Vol biv I'd like to do some tours accross the alps with my paraglider, and do all ascents by foot.

Personal Successes
I've worked hard to expand both my flying skills and also meteo knowledge. I found planning hike and fly tours have made me a more independent pilot and build my knowledge.
Speedflying License. I've always enjoyed flying small and agile wings.
