Hey @simon go to 56 seconds... is that what its like when paragliding? Everyone else should take the time to watch this video, it has some truly epic scenes in it. Yellowstone, Niagara - it really is some great footage taken from unique drone perspectives.

 

Pretty well, check this, this is the sights we fly (preferred)

or coastal (this was my local site - lots of hours in the air here)

 

The view is absolutely breathtaking. And the coastal runs simply amazing... I loved some of the low down flying. So i gather you cant fly too far from the cliff face? otherwise you will loose the updraft? The mountain in Manilla looked to be a perfect place to take off. Nice and high but still a slope in case things go south.
