The world from a glider's perspective

We hang-glider and paragliding pilots view our own home towns from a different angle.
Mostly, we view it from above, and from 50 metres to 3000 metres altitude.

We can pack our portable aircraft on to budget airliners to travel the world looking for amazing places to experience.

Our silent mode of flight allows us to take a camera up to show you how the world looks, from our perspective. These photographs are by the members of the North Devon Hang-gliding and Paragliding Club in the UK. Enjoy!
