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.

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!!!!
