A collection of  my Pre London pics - paragliding, parties, friends ect.

These are some of my older pics from the days before I came to the UK - and they make me really homesick every time I see them. We had a big group of friends that all did paragliding together. We used to go to a town in Natal province called Bulwer, A tiny place, small population but big mountain.(600ft for training - 1000ft for serious stuff). We always stayed at our Instructor Hans' house, which was where the party was. At night we would invade the local Mountain Park hotel and Bar, write graffiti on the ceiling, and get thrown out at 2:30am. These pics are from a December Holiday when about 9 of us descended on Bulwer and flew for about 10 days. What a crazy place....
Also here are some pics of the water skiing we all used to do regularly, and finally - some pics from house parties, Camping in Ballito caravan park, and my folks, friends and pets.
As usual, please enter all your comments about this page in the guestbook, especially if your mug shot is up here!!!
