Onko foorumilla muita Suomalaisia speedflying harrastajia, kuin minä? Ainakin Pekka on lisännyt lentopaikka karttaan merkintöjä, mutta ovatko ne reittipisteitä vai todellisia starttipaikkoja? <img src="http://forum.speed-flying.com/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_question.gif" title=":?:" class="bb_smilies" />

Is here any other Finnish speedflyers in this forum?
User; Pekka has marked some spots in south and western Finland, but i dont know is that marked place really start up places, how knows?

Kiitos / Thanks

I am a new owner of a Gin Nano (11m). I am a paragliding club pilot in the UK and have done a 3 day speed riding course in La Clusaz (but not specific speed riding qualification).

I am this weekend off to British Columbia for a two week si trip (taking the Nano) and would like to know if anyone has been able to find UK based insurance for speed riding?

Also any recommendations on areas to speedriding in/around kicking horse, revelstoke, red mountain, fernie (we are doing a road trip in an RV).

I am going to out in the Alps in both Morzine and Chamonix from the 28th to the 9th of Feb. I have my own equipment, but only about 20 flights under my belt in the western US and none in France.

I am looking for anyone that might be on the area to go out with, who has more experience than I do.

300 Euro a day is pretty steep for a guide, so I am looking for another option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
