Re: [Pendragon] Madeira
Hi!
Well, I'm not really a base jumper but a pg pilot, however I know what I'm talking about :-)
I've been to Madeira twice for flying and I can tell you, the best "object" to jump from on the island is a tandem paraglider...Forget about Cabo Girao, it only works with a motorbike :-) Well, I've seen some other possible exit points there, but they're all much lower and one potential place is disturbed by the cable car's lines. At some places there are just simply no landing places as the cliff ends up in the see. I think it's not a worth...
However I've seen other videos with the guy who jumped with the motorbike where he jumps 3-4 different spots on the island. 2 of them were bridges, both between Funchal and Cabo Girao on the highway (I guess one is around 80, the other max 100m), you will immediately recognize the places on your way from the airport. The other one was a cliff, somewhere high up in the mountains, but not too high as well...maybe 2-3 sec. delay...but no idea where.
The complete island is surrounded by huge coastal cliffs, but you will see, none of them is really vertical...but don't worry, it is fucking great for paragliding!!! :-)
Hope it helps something...
Ciao!
