paragliding

Hi everyone,

Just finished my paragliding training. I did it in Czech Republic because of the good weather and low price of the training and gear. Now I am back and air hungry
Does any of you know some good paragliding spots in Ireland, especialy near Cork?
Maybe you know any irish board about paragliding that I could search to find an answer for my question?

Cheers

Greg

Have you never been in contact with anybody involved in paragliding in Ireland before you went off and done training ?

Regarding sites down south, I have spotted guys using the dunes on the beach down at Glenbeigh, Kerry. Not great height but nice near the ground stuff.
You could always find a ridge that gets hit by south westerlies and off you go.

Anyway here are websites:

http://www.paraglideadventure.com/

You know you can source some of this stuff through Google

Of course I know people doing paragliding in Ireland, otherwise I wouldnt take the training!

As for the internet search, I wanted some more than google has to offer

Thanks for your reply

You know that you probably taken up one of the most unsuitable forms of flying for our weather.
Paragliding from my limited knowledge is great fun, but getting weather and time will be one of your biggest problems.
