I had a wonderful flight with my guide. The 20 minute flight was super relaxing and scenic. Sunshine, nice wind, awesome views. We started in Sedgefield.
This is pretty close to feeling like flying, especially when a fish eagle flies past you. The feeling of the wind rushing as you dip and dive is quite thrilling.
I bought my 83 year old mother a tandem paragliding experience for Christmas. She absolutely loved it. She's quite frail and the guides and pilots help her enormously to strap in and feel safe. She never felt nervous and I always felt she was in safe hands.
