right so i got back from hedley tonight. fuck that is the smallest town ever, but in a pretty cool way, it was like being in a cowboy movie (not THAT one) or something, but with semi-modern cars, and paragliders.
it was cool though, loads of hillbillys and first-nation dudes that had never seen paragliders or guys in wheelchairs before, never mind a guy in a wheelchair who paraglides!

I was shitting myself incase i landed in the middle of nowhere and got eaten by a bear, i was tooled up with bear spray and knives and flares and all kinds-a-shit, so obviously i didnt see a bear the whole fuckin time!

but i did have the most awesome moment when i was flying above a ridge, just playing on a thermal, when i was flying next to an osprey! justfuckinawesome. it was so cool to be up there flying next to an osprey, i wanted to take a pic of it, but i was crapping my pants that i would wipe out if i took my hands off the control lines, and it didnt hang around for long anyway, so im glad i didnt waste the moment by fucking around with a camera, cos i seriously doubt it will ever happen again.

i got an awesome new camera, one of these but its black, its so tiny its almost stupid, but its cool cos i can carry it about all the time without it taking up too much room, hence me taking pics of just about everything i see, like this:

the main street of hedley, where i was staying.

an average house in hedley.

i dont know if they were going to school, or going hunting, i really think it could of been both.

its in black and white, that means im arty right?
