Thank you for the comments and photo contributions! I have put this site together for my own personal record and to share flying site information with other paraglider and hang glider pilots as it is not always easy to find on the web (since some would prefer to keep the flying sites hidden). Without openly sharing flying site information and our experiences, the sport is very unlikely to grow and we are also unlikely to see major improvements in sites, equipment or flying skills. The more the merrier!
