I’ve always wanted to go paragliding.  The idea of leaping off the side of a mountain thrilled me as much as it made me nervous, and as soon as I spotted the paragliders cruising the afternoon thermals in Morzine, I knew that I was going to give it a go there.  We were lucky that the weather was beautiful every single day, with what I’m told were near-perfect conditions.  All I know is that I got to launch myself off the side of a snowy mountain into a gorgeous blue sky, then drift peacefully through the air drinking in the view and loving every single minute.

Even now, I find it impossible to eloquently put into words quite how amazing this experience was – and my only words while I was in the air were “Wowwww!” So here’s my video of the flight, with incredible views of Morzine and its surrounds in the mid-afternoon sun.
