 Flying
is an innate wish in the man. Would be good That having a pair of wings to fly away! And maybe for this reason than the flight he has for the
man this only and unrepeatable glamour. But he for his capacities, can
to move on the earth, to climb, to enter water and to plunge obviously.
Instead, the air, is an element which to the man, is not very congenial,
without the help of human artifice.
There
is but a method for to soar in the air almost like a bird: it is the
paragliding, this is in fact, between the aerial sporting activities, the
simplest and what requires the least equipment with the maximum
transport easiness. The paragliding, in fact, is completely constituted
by a wing in fabric equal to a parachute, and a saddle for the pilot
containing also an emergency parachute. The
everything is contained in a rucksack to be loaded in shoulder.
The Pisan Mountains have contributed to have always several people
approached by this wonderful sport or way of living. With the small
mountain that he dominates him, San Giuliano has been for many time the center of a sporting
activity, and a point of reference in the zone, and
also outside, famous and frequented.
The spot offers a take-off with a difference of level of about 180 m.
what, for those of the sector, is considered between the most reduced.
And also true, however, that thanks to the orography of the ground, the
distribution of the vegetation and the configuration of the local winds,
with the typical sea breeze, allow in average to reach easily a share of 800
m.. Seldommer, choosing the right day and time well for the
take-off, it is possible to reach shares of the order of 1500 m..
To
San Giuliano Terme also is
found a school of paragliding, coordinate from
Walter Bardi, an instructor of the FIVL (Italian federation
of the free flight) which keep Courses theorist-practical of paragliding, which they allow the pupils to get the certificate (patent) to be able
standalonely to practise the free flight with the paragliding.
 And
possible try also the thrill of the flight with a turist turn on the
two seat paragliding piloted by the instructor of the school. It is
sometimes really the turist flight which makes spring the passion for the air
in someone. In a some particular days, when the meteorological
conditions are sufficiently strong, San Giuliano T. becomes aim of hang
gliders which with their triangular aircraft furrow the
skies on that ridge between Pisa and Lucca.
Flying
with the parapendio asks some day school to the field to learn the
pumping up techniques, take off and landing, and after then one passes to make
true and real high flights under the instructor's leader who, using
a transceiver radio, shows the pupil in flight the manoeuvres to
make step step.
Day
after day the pupil gets more always self-sufficient and, following the
theoretical course acquires all that information they will allow him,
once obtained the patent, to fly in total autonomy and in maximum
security. People
always remain much struck when, see the sky above San Giuliano furrowed
by about tens and tens of sails coloured as confetti! Remaining
charm with the nose to the up, admiring dance of the winged men, and
dreaming to open eyes. . . |
Want
to try to flight in paragliding and enjoing of unforgettable moments in
completly quiet and security ?? Well, for who is interested the instructor
of paragliding Roberto Maggi (Aeci certificate)he daily develops activity of
turistic two seater flight in paragliding to S. Giuliano T..
In flight photos will be
taken and it will be left again to the passenger the "certified of baptism of
air".
