Annecy Paragliding
On Friday got back from Annecy after a week of paragliding.
We drove out with Cloud Nine and stayed a Maison Du Moulin as guests of Irwyn Jehu.
The weather was excellant and we had five days of paraliding. The last two days it rained, and instead Irwyn tooks us canyoning.
Had good flights from Col de la Forclaz where I managed to gain 600 meters above take off in quite strong conditions. In fact I had to put in the big ears to stop going into the rather black looking clouds. Managed to get over to the teeth, but chickened out from crossing the lake because of the now very black looking clouds. After landing down by the lake, a thunder stor soon started.
We also flew at Grand Bornond, near La Cluzas, where I also gained much height. The second flight though was rather rough and I spend 10-15 minutes with big ears pulled to get down quickly. No one I spoke to enjoyed that second flight.
All in all had a wonderful time, with great food and wine. Should have some pictures later.
