Competitions: Band Camp for Pilots

I have enjoyed participating in Competitions for 3 years now. You might notice I say “participated”, not competed, not attempted. By participating, I mean I attended, I socialised, I helped, I flew, I landed, I retrieved, I called “bullshit” on some of the stories at night, I had fun. I’ve realised recently that a lot of pilots only think about the stress on launch and the pressure in the sky when they think about participating in a paragliding competition. I thought I should write about all the other good stuff that comes with the competition scene.
