Barberton Manor Guest House

Lone Tree Hill stands at 425 metres above Barberton and serves as good launching site,
good enough to keep paragliders flying high for hours on end.

Barberton is a winter site and the easterly wind is the prevailing wind, which attracts the paragliders from as far as Natal and Pretoria.

Many people think that paragliding is a dangerous sport, but it is as safe as the pilot makes it.

If you stick to the rules and don't over extend your limits, it can be a rewarding and spirit lifting sport.

Paragliding is the closest form of flight known to man and nothing can compare to the sound of silence as you fly freely hundreds of metres above the ground.
