Towing on a paraglider

Well, yesterday I went paratowing for the first time ever. My heart was beating through my chest. I can fly my glider no problem......but being dragged by a winch up to about 700 feet in the air over a field a few hundred meters long, is another story. Turned out to be easier than I thought...it was really the anticipation which was the tough bit....and the fact that I haven't flown for ages.

Anyway...had some good tows and look forward to when it gets a bit warmer so there are thermals up there with us next time.
