GIN paraglider flies Ama Dablam

It is worth having a look at this recent video of a GIN paraglider flying off the top of Ama Dablam in the Himalayas (just down the road from Everest).

Having walked past Ama Dablam, it is no mean feat getting up it. Also the guy struggles for while getting the glider under control before he is in a positions to launch. Checkout the speed of the descent with the small canopy.

I was supposed to fly of Labouche Peak in the Khumbu Valley, however things didn't go to plan and I ended up walking back down. I did fly of the hillside above Pherice, and noticed the difference in speed needed during take off due to the thinner air. Also you could feel that there air was not quite so thick when turning the paraglider.

It was howerver an awesome experience flying in the Himalayas.

For paragliding relted gear take a look here.

Overboard waterproof rucksacks and bags.

As summer is coming and we will be tending to spend more time on the beach and out on the water on the boat.

A range of waterproof bags that I cant do without with are the Overboard waterproof bags. these come in a range of sizes and keep the contents completely dry. Just what you need when messing about on the water.

I use my carbon backpack all the time.

The Overboard range can be found via the link here.
The price range on these waterproof backpacks, sack and holdalls is great. They will not break the bank and will last a very long time!!!! The great plus point of the products is that they float if dropped in the water, so you should never lose your gear!!!!

I have grown up with these bags all my life, and cannot rate them highly enough. From the fabric, to the workmanship, to the useability - they are brilliant.

Ferrari experience fantastic !

Over the weekend I have been trying out one of the driving experieces we run;

It has always been a dream of mine to drive a Ferrari. it was fantastic. All I can keep saying now is "Iwant one, I want one". Will that ever happen, who knows.

The shear exhilaration and sound of the engine is tremendous. I got out smiling from ear to ear. I just can't get across how exciting it is.

Who knows how fast I was actually going?? But is was easily over 100mph. It seems effortless, like just driving at 30mph in a road car.

How the car sticks to the road is also amazing.

If you want to have a go, have a look at the driving experiences we sell. It is a great day out, and can be handled by all in the family.

If you have always wanted to drive a fast car, here is your chance.

Adventurexchange website - The way forward, any ideas?

I currently run an outdoor website for adventure enthusiasts called Adventurexchange . The website holds a database of outdoor enthusiasts and tries to link people with similar interests in the outdoors.

I also run a small outdoor shop (the pages of which are linked at the top of this blog).

I am looking for ideas from people on how I can promote the website and get additioal products listed on the shop.

If you are a distributor or you know a distibutor who stocks items that would fit well with the Adventurexchange shop, please let me know.

Similarly, if you have any ideas on promoting the Adventurexchange website, please drop me a line at jon.tucker@aone.uk.com

The better I make it, hoefully the better it helps other adventure enthusiasts.

Thanks,

Jon

2XU compression gear

Had the rep around the other day for 2XU compression gear.

All the clothing looked very high quality, and there is a fair amount of science behind it all, with most of the research being done by the AustralianSports institute.
2XU is the only manufacturer with "cicular knit technology", whhich means that the fabric does not stretch unevenly and retains its shape.
I think compression gear is going to be more and more popular. Hopefully we will get to stock it in the Adventurexchange shop.
One thing I didn't realise is that there is different compression gear for excercising and recovering.

If you want to get ahead get a hat.

I am off out this afternoon ready to hit the road on the bike. There are many arguments for and against wearing helmets, but for the sake of my unborn child, today I think I will stick firmly with the helmet. my choice is the Alpina Pheos helmet, which is Alpina's top of the range helmet for this year. Is strong, light, doesn't clash with the bike colours and just looks great.

First past the post.

Hi there everyone,
This is my first foray online with a blog.
The aim of this blog is to highlight what is happening in the adventure world, to discuss with others the merits of linking outdoor persuits with running a small business as I am currently doing at Adventurexchange.com

Hopefully we can all exchange ideas, and I can let you know my thoughts and how 'we' are developing the Adventurexchange shop.
