Thanks Peter for the whole series. We were due to go out to Algo at the end of March, but obviously had to cancel due to the virus. So it has been nice to have a sort of paragliding holiday by watching your videos. Hopefully will be there next year.
Cheers Jeremy 🙏 i was bit lucky that we made this trip. Hope this restriction will pass soon and definitely you need to go to Algo. Such beautiful place. Wish you all the best and good weather for your trip to Algo 👍 Thank you for joining us in my series, appreciate it a lot!
It amazes me how paragliders are able to travel sometimes great distances all without power or an engine. It is such a pure form of flying which is exciting and beautiful. I would love to be able to try the sport some day! Thank you very much for posting this video diary of your wonderful Spanish holiday Peter, it's very kind of you. Also your paragliding colleagues who contributed.
Thank you Barry for joining us via this videos 🙏 you can try paragliding on tester day or you can do a Tandem flight 👌you will love it ❤ . It is incredible that now we have this awesome technology and we can fly with birds. Many people in past was dreaming to be able to fly like bird does and now we living their dreams 😍. It is incredible that just using sun power we are able to fly cross country. This is top sport. This is pure freedom ! Thank you again for watching , hope soon you will try this sport ! Take care 👌
Cheers peter for these videos. Lockdown is getting hard, I've finished all seasons of youtube and boredom is turning into torture. These videos have been a well needed escape. Till we fly again my friend 🤙
Cheers Andrew 🙏 glad you did join us threw this videos 👌 it is taking bit time especially with few cameras around 😉 Take care and hope to soon do some flying as weather is super nice 🤣
Thank you Peter for sharing this wonderful series you & all your colleagues experienced in beautiful Spain... I haven't flown PG before but somehow you offer great inspiration for newcomers to try this amazing sport. Who knows eh ; ) maybe one day. Thoroughly enjoyed the uploads and I certainly appreciate the effort that goes into collecting the footage and all the editing and time you spent before you put them out there for us all to watch and enjoy. Take care and stay safe in these awful Covid19 times, Regards from Lincolnshire UK.
Thank you Mark 🙏 yes it taking lots of time and efford to edit it. I am so pleased that you considering in your mind Paragliding ! You have to try it and definitely you will love it ❤ if that pandemic will be over then try tandem flight 🙏 I am glad that you like my series. This keeping me on right track to making more videos 😉 take care, stay safe and wishing you and all your family all the best. Cheers 👍
@@PeterHoldy I am hooked and an avid fan of your channel. Thank you for your kind words and you sir are a real legend in my eyes the way you share your enthusiasm for such a remarkable experience anyone can achieve. All the best buddy.
Thank you so much for posting your videos. I was there in October last year and it is nice to be able to recognize all the locations. I loved the place so much I booked another week, this week, unfortunately the COVID 19 made it impossible. So watching your video's really helped. Did you know there is an official town landing? I bombed out on my last day and were in the same position you were. The landing is a bit tight, but there is a couple of plastic streamers acting as windsocks (on google maps: 36°52'29.0"N 5°24'28.6"W) .
Thank you for watching and no i did not know there was an official landing. Venturi won't let me glide to big football pitch near Casa Paco restaurant so i was hoping i can use that hill for little soaring and catch some thermal 🤣🤷♂️
:-D tie mentalne procesy mi pripominaly minuly oktober v Algo - ok na hentom poli je kon, na hentom krava.. toto prve to su pichlave kriky? wait hentam vybieha pes? ... what ideme hore? cool! ... ok ale teraz sme oddriftovali na druhu stranu tej cesty... powerlines!... a takto leti clovek 2 hodiny :-D
@@PeterHoldy jo, supy boli mega, tocit s nimi a pozorovat co sa stane ked dojdes na vrch termalu, ako sa rozprchnu v ich vlastnom 'search patterne' roznymi smermi a potom zase stretnu ked niektory z nich nieco najde. Alebo ked ty najdes a oni dojdu k tebe. Jeden z nasich guidov hovoril ako mu jeden narazil do snur a zostal zamotany az kym s nim +- pristal a vymotal ho. Ale statisticky je to zriedkave, neviem ci tie vtaky nase snury vidia ale zjavne vedia ze nemaju prelietavat tesne pod nase handry.
I think holding the brakes when you arent looking for lift can be more dangerous, if you hit a sink pocket your reaction could be to hold or push hands down which could cause a surge or worse a stall...
How would you describe the difference between Impress 3 and Range XAlps? (in terms of feedback, roll authority, movements in general).Thanks in advance!
Working actually on this video about my Xalps 2 and impress 3. So in couple days i should finish it and post it. But in short Impress 3 feel really solid and really safe harness and robust when you F* landing 🤣 stable in air , do not pitch or oscillate from site to site. Love them. Xalps 2 is light ,really good harness for Hike and fly or holidays when weight counts. In the air you need to be good pilot and you need to use to fly pod harness as it will scare fresh pilots. They are bit everywhere in thermals so you need to be active pilot. Really comfortable for long flights but do not recommending for every day lazy flying as you can easily destroy them. If you will heavily landed then you need to buy new harness. Or if you will be dragged over takeoff then you will destroy them 🙏
@@alkaiosavdelas8053 then you will be absolutely fine on X alps. From begging they can feel strange as hanging point is bit higher that on Impress 3. In couple of days you should see my video about it 🙏
Hello Peter, nice trip, fab video.. Are you not superstitious? to say "the last flight" is bad sign to the pilot :) I would say "bordering flight" or "rear flight" :) By the way your friend Darren is better swearing or flying? :)
Cheers 😉 i am not superstitious so far, but hope it was not the last flight ! Darren will get there to be good pilot one day. 🙏 Take care , stay safe and fly soon 👌
Very nice videos, hope to see more coming soon ;) I like to see the things behind the scenes as you do, take off, landings, cities and briefings !
Thank you for ideas 👍 just we need wait bit longer to be able to travel with no restriction and i will do another adventure 🙏 cheers 👌
What a great week.............enjoyed following you!
Thank you 🙏 enjoyed making videos for you 👌

Nice trip,,, quick question ... How come you launch without holding the breaks?
Easy with strong conditions , in light tricky. You need to learn to find balance. If you feel wing and environment around you then you can do it 😉
I think holding the brakes when you arent looking for lift can be more dangerous, if you hit a sink pocket your reaction could be to hold or push hands down which could cause a surge or worse a stall...
