[/p][p][b]FLYING FEVER PARAGLIDE UPDATE [/b]After a false start last year due to the Scottish weather, Managing Director, Douglas McCrea has unfortunately had two more recent failed attempts at 'Flying Fever Paragliding this year', when he ventured to Arran on 31st May - 1st June, to throw himself off a cliff. Due to bad weather conditions, much to his disappointment, he could not get airborne, however he will try again in July and we are all looking forward to this one! (Douglas doesn’t like heights!)
