Ready for take-off



The adrenaline is pumping, the heartbeat is going faster and faster as I prepare myself for my third paraglide. Although it's not the first time I am preparing myself for a jump, the feeling is always the same.

Once I am kitted out and securely tied to my instructor, we run towards the edge of the cliff. As I run towards the edge I start shouting "Geronimo" much to the amusement of the instructor......but I don't care it feels good!

Touchdown

Paragliding was part of the Ability Challenge - this was my third jump - first being in the Dolomites (December 1999) and second being in France (August 2006)
