Up up and away….
I remember wanting to try a hobby that would take to the great outdoors a few years ago, so I looked up a number of options and found something called paragliding.
Paragliding is a hobby where u strap a big parachute to your back run off the side of a hill and hope that the wind takes you up in the air. I thought this looks great so I booked myself on a 1 day taster course, the benefits of this being that you don’t have to fork out on the equipment which can be quite expensive. Paragliding is also a cheaper alternative to hang gliding, gliding or flying one of those small one man planes.
Well I turned up on the day and was surprised how soon I was kitted out, I then spent most of it running up and down and hill. I did manage to get some 30ft up in the air for a few seconds before slowly drifting to the ground.
Would I try it again ? Yes, however to get the most out of it you need to invest a lot of money and training (£2000 +) as safety is very important especially when ur a few thousand feet off the ground !!!
