Please find below links to the various videos Robert Veitch took at the recent SHPF Gathering 2010. These show paragliding reserve deployments in the afternoon of the 16th January 2010.
All videos were taken from the top of the facility - nearly 100 feet up. This is probably as close as it is possible to get to being the perfect setup for testing out paragliding and Hang-gliding (though none this year) reserve deployments. Missed it this year then why not pencil this into your diary now for a similar weekend in January 2011 when it should next be run.

The SHPF Gathering consists of a mixture of acitivities - obviosly starting with the deployments shown here, followed by repacking in a large heated space below launch!. This is then followed by the SHPF AGM and a talk by a sky god - last year John Sillvester and this year Eddie Colfox. The Sunday - following some more social activities - usually consists of more technical talks and activities. This year talks were by Dave Thomson, Tony Spirling - really excellent re pyschology, and Cliff Smith re avalanches - especially pertinent as one of the pilots present had been caught in one very recently in the nearby Pentlands .....
