There is not a hang glider of paraglider in the world who wouldn't acknowledge Judy's skills, her class and her courage. Judy will take you to rare and secret places you could not reach alone, and envoke a world still full of adventure if you know where to look for it.

Only 2 books have ever grabbed my attantion, one is the Hitchikers Guide and the other is Judy Leden's inspirational biography. A truely amazing woman who's lived life to the full, exhilarating highs and heart rendering lows. You don't have to know anything about foot launched aircraft as she explains everything so well. If you've ever fancied taking up hang or paragliding buy this and you'll be thumbing through the yellow pages for a school in no time... I did and I've never looked back. Thanks Judy!

Format:Hardcover
This book is a lot more than the story of a truly exceptional female pilot multi- world-record holder in hang-gliding & paragliding. It describes truly breath-taking experiences of flying in various - sometimes extreme - conditions around the world and it gives an insight into the qualities required of a world champion. It also includes many interesting reflections upon human relations, will, motivation, generosity and - yes, why not ? - the meaning of life. Evidently, it is a must for every air enthusiast. However, "non-enthusiasts" should also find it very interesting.
