5.0 out of 5 stars Touching Cloudbase The Complete Guide to Paragliding (4th ed 15 Feb 2005
By "jarbutt"
This is the best book for anyone wanting to start paragliding. Ian Currer has improved it with each edition and the latest is bang up to date and packed with useful info, great pictures and illustrations. I know Ian, so this might be a bit biased, but the BHPA magazine Skywings said "It is possible to learn Paragliding without Touching Cloudbase, but is hard to imagine whay anyone would want to try". This book is also used as a course text book by paragliding schools in many countries and has useful revision info for all the UK pilot rating system exams. (Much of which Ian also wrote I think).

5.0 out of 5 stars Good way to find out more about paragliding 6 Nov 2010
By Dirk Herberich
I am interested in paragliding, but I wanted to find out more before committing to signing up for a course. Based on the very good reviews the book got here at Amazon I bought the book. The book is very factual, well written and it touches on all aspects of paragliding that I was interested in. - Just what I wanted.
By working through this book I have fully achieved the goal that I have set myself. - I got enough facts that helped me decide to take my interest one step further and I have by now signed up for a beginners course. I am happy that by reading through the book I already got some theoretical basics, which I am sure will help me in my efforts to get paragliding.
So, overall I am very happy with my purchase and I am happy that I got good value for money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Technically good book - though not the newest edition available.
This book was a good introduction to paragliding for me, before embarking on a beginner's course. The front half teaches all the theory of taking off, landing and basic manoeuvring... Read more
