Lyn Hang-gliding


This was something I had wanted to do since I was 50 (years ago!), so I wanted to go first.I loved the take off and landing, the view was stunning while we were up there and it took a while to get used to the feel of it. We seemed to be a long time in the air and I was told it was because the clouds were so good, eg there were lots of them and they sucked us up even higher than when the plane let us go. So, if there are a long line of clouds (called a street) it allows the hangglider to keep moving up with each cloud. I did get a little nervous wondering when would be a good time to ask if we were going to stop climbing at some point!
Great experience and lovely pilot and crew.
