Now in a considerably revised and expanded third edition. Paragliding tips I wish I'd learned sooner - an extensive collection of hints, tips and advice to smooth the progress of the newly qualified paraglider novice towards being a confident, organised, successful pilot. The focus is on preparation - learning early the habits that will make flying easier and more pleasurable. All aspects of flying are covered, from selecting and packing your equipment right through to advice on landing out. It concludes with an extensive selection of additional online resources. Live versions of those links can be found at the website for the book, http: //www.preparetofly.co.uk/. Skywings, the official magazine of the British Hanggliding and Paragliding Association, called it "very, very good indeed and ridiculously cheap", and concluded their review with "Not simply recommended... but essential!".
