Download or read book Classic Routes the World s Best Hang Gliding and Paragliding Cross Country Routes written by Bob Drury and published by Cross Country International. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described as the new "bible" for pilots Classic Routes is the ultimate guidebook to the world's ultimate free flight destinations. Whether you fly a lightweight paraglider or a topless hang glider, there is something in this book for you. Published by the makers of Cross Country Magazine, the international paragliding and hang gliding magazine, and edited by Bob Drury, Classic Routes is a unique tour through 20 of the world's premier free flight destinations. From the classic 90km Bingara Run in Manilla, Australia, to flying the convergence line in Piedrahita, Spain, to the Grand Tour of Annecy to chasing miles in Governador Valadares, Brazil, many of the world's best-known sites are all in here. Each chapter is written by a pilot who has flown the route and is familiar with the territory. They explain how you can fly it too, and what to look for along the way. House thermals are pointed out, secret glide lines explained, intricate meteorology unravelled and local rules unveiled. However, you don't have to be embarking on a world tour to get full advantage of Classic Routes. The book stands alone as a unique teaching and learning aid, explaining better than any textbook how to fly cross country. It lets you see inside the heads of pilots like Will Gadd or Jocky Sanderson as they reveal the tricks of their trade and share their secrets. The print version of Classic Routes is a classic coffee table book, with beautiful photography laid out over 200 pages. This digital version has been reformatted specifically for the Kindle, and features all the articles and chapters just as they are in the book, but without all the gorgeous photos available in the print version. You don't have to be an adventure sports enthusiast or an extreme sports addict to enjoy this book, or even a paraglider pilot or hang glider pilot – armchair travellers and sofa adventurers will enjoy the well written tales, which are written by some of the best writers in the sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hang-gliding is extraordinary, close to nature and always has a touch of adventure. Beginners will gain valuable knowledge about wind, lift and the behaviour of their aircraft. Beginners will be thrilled by the possibilities it opens up for them. Drop-outs who want to escape from the normal daily routine of model flying will discover exciting challenges here. The special attraction of hang-gliding is the variety and uniqueness of the landscapes in which you fly. The demand on the pilot's flying skills is high in slope flying. The correct assessment of the conditions through routine and experience is the key to enjoyable flights and safe landings. In seven lessons, the necessary knowledge can be learned step by step. In this way, this book helps to ensure that the beginning of a hang-gliding career is free of unpleasant surprises. The following applies to all model pilots: Flying experience on a slope is a broadening of the flying horizon. And the experience gained in slope flying enables a smooth transition to other model flying disciplines. Hang-gliding can be done inexpensively. A simple, unpowered glider model is sufficient for the beginning. Later, there are hardly any limits in terms of technical perfection and model variety.
