NEWS FEATURE:
Strong Winds on Sinhagarh
The
"Sinhagarh" is certainly capable of living up to its name in more ways
than one. Notably, the Paraglider Pilots were recently buffeted by blasts
of up to 55 KPH during an unprecedented competition held by Harley Paragliders,
billed as the Sinhagarh Blowout, that saw the pilots scream wide around
the weather mark - and then try to head toward home in the most efficient
way possible, beating against unseasonably heavy winds. But, in the true
spirit of the enthusiasts, there was more excitement than unhappiness about
the unusual conditions. And, certainly, the Goans with their laminar site
who came over to get a feel for the inland wind experience got more than
their money's worth in terms of thrills. Want to get a taste of what it
was like to be at the Sinhagarh Blowout? (You can
