Scottish Nationals Paragliding Series - Ochils
Final scores have not yet been confirmed but series winner is Kenny Cooper.
Earlier today I finally updated the details on the Ochils round of the Scottish Nationals Paragliding series which was held on the 14th and 15th October.
On the 14th an open distance task from Myreton Hill was set, and on the 15th a short top to bottom via 2 turnpoints and a spot landing competition was held near Ben Lawers.
I have prepared a new page here as well as links to my personal website containing photos by Brian Steele and my photos of Myreton and Ben Lawers
Finally a link to a compilation video (35Mb) of various people landing after me at Ben Lawers on the 15th.

Student requires old paraglider can you help?
Hello,
I am a student in Performance Costumes, at the Edinburgh College of Art. I am in my final year and I am looking for an old paraglide that is not use anymore to recycle it as a costume. Do you have any paraglide that you are not using anymore or any information to help me in my research?
Thank you for your attention
