Having a HG with power for really achieving and a paramotor for end of the day fun is a blissful combo.
Nice seeing a man who knows how to live! Almost moved to Scotland a couple years back - lured by the warmth and friendliness of the Scots + different mentality (in a good way) re what's important in life compared to the U.S.
You'll laugh at why I didn't move. Had a cat at the time in NYC (I'm a staunch dog person but demanding job made having a self-sufficient cat more feasible.). One of the hoops to jump through to bring a pet into the U.K. is getting a passport for your pet. Took a day off from work to stop by the British consulate to apply for such a passport + run a few errands. With several plastic bags of groceries in hand + wearing comfy baggy errand-running clothes, I walk into the consulate. American building security guard stops me and asks the reason for my visit. I tell him I need a passport for my pet. He refused to let me pass, thinking I was crazy. Sigh. Stupid Americans.
In retrospect, if I had moved to Scotland I may not have discovered hang gliding
How many litres of gas does the motor hold + how long can you fly it for?
Warmly,
