Paragliding

Strap on your harness. Check your wing. Then run, run, run downhill, until all of a sudden you find you’re not running: you’re flying, soaring on thermals with birds of prey, steering with the tug of a line, and watching woods and fields spread out beneath you like a carpet. Paragliding may be an extreme sport, but it’s also weirdly relaxing: a beautiful chance to see the world from an eagle’s eye view. Make a tandem flight with an experienced instructor, soaring together to heights of up to 12000ft with nothing to worry about but sitting back and enjoying the view while your guide does the steering (or maybe a few acrobatics if you’re lucky!) Or sign up for a taster day or even a full course of lessons to become your own pilot and experience the thrills of active flight for yourself.
