Check your insurance if you do Phillip.

One of my friends, an experienced paraglider who had flown there several times had a terrible accident at that very spot....a sudden change in wind direction as he took off saw him blown back onto the cliff face from where he tumbled down to the bottom.
Chris suffered punctured lungs, lots of broken bones and horrible cuts and bruises.
He now flies something with an engine in it!!

Regards all

Yes , there’s been a few accidents there , we know someone who thankfully got away with minor injuries there. However he did say it can happen anywhere and it’s important to check wind speed, direction etc
