Flying with Condors by J. Leden (Hard Back Edition)

£18.99

Judy Leden is, without question, the greatest woman pilot in free flying. She has been 3 times champion of the world, twice in hang gliding, once in paragliding and six times British Women's Champion.
She as dropped from a balloon at 41,000 feet over the Jordanian desert in temperatures and wind chill so low that for 15 minutes she flew with her eyes frozen shut. She has captained the British Hang Gliding Team and has flown with vultures, eagles and of course, condors.
There is not a hang glider pilot or paraglider pilot in the world, man or woman, who would not acknowledge her skills, her class and her courage, as well as her feminity and compassion. Being carried up into the stratosphere, not knowing whether her precautions against dying will be enough, she still finds time to marvel "as the reds and golds of the desert glow, the long shadows of the crags retreat, scurrying away from the heat of the day".
This beautifully written autobiography takes you from her college days when she learned to fly hang gliders up to the present day.
In this inspirational book she takes you to rare and secret aerial places you could not reach alone and evokes a world still full of adventure - if you know where to look for it!
Illustrated with colour photographs.
Hard. 284 pages.
