We are a paragliding company and that is what we do so it is quite likely we are off flying right now.
So, if it is the evening, a rainy or windy day you will probably get a speedy reply to your web enquiry.
If it's a perfect flying day, more than likely we are out paragliding and will only be checking our email a bit later.
