5.0 out of 5 stars It is THE manual for anyone wanting to know how to Fly., 6 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Touching Cloudbase: Complete Guide to Paragliding (Paperback)

This book covers every subject that a beginner or intermediate paraglider pilot would want to know. Right from the background and safety aspects through to cross-country flying. It is easy to read and you get a real sense of the authors passion for promoting free flight. It also contains everything neccessary to pass the BHPA exams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching Cloudbase The Complete Guide to Paragliding (4th ed, 15 Feb 2005

By	"jarbutt" - See all my reviews

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).
