mid life crisis #47

**underfoot** · 21st October 2009, 05:51 AM

I've just spent a couple of weeks getting over another mid life crisis

this time it was getting my paragliding licence

here's me (early in the course) surviving a dodgy takeoff, (wing collapse)
btw, that hill I'm running off is about 1 kilometer straight down on launch

and the lift took you up another 1/2k YEEEHAAAA!!
anyone else here have regular mid life crisis as well ? and what have you done to accommodate them ?

So I guess thats you laying back making the phone call John

Manilla beaut spot didn't think there was a hill there that far up unless your talking the track that winds up the hill

Mt Kaputar, which reaches an altitude of 1510 metres and you can see it from Manilla.

Well done John at least up there your not Underfoot

Yep, Had several. Curing this one in Brasil with parties, beach walks and girl watching.

It's a tough life.

I took up wood work,

I don't think I could make myself jump of a high thing.

Looks fun though.

I would have phrased it "I developed a taste for dangerous high speed machinery,making noxious dust and physical labour". Same thing though...
