The breeze was gentle and refreshingly crisp as we glided through the spectacular Victorian Alps in Australia. There was no fear…only an unexplainable sense of calmness and serenity. I bid goodbye to the year that was by fulfilling one of my childhood dreams… to feel what it’s like to fly…FREEDOM!
Happy New Year everyone! Live well, Love passionately, Laugh hard and Conquer your dreams
wow! paragliding is one my ultimate dreammmmmmmm.. nice one claire! : )
It was a spur of the moment decision, we didn’t even know they offer paragliding at Bright.
Hi, Claire! I would love to try paragliding, pero baka sa bigat ko, mag crash land ako agad, hehehe! HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your husband! God bless! =)
hahaha thanks same to you and your wifey

God bless always
Thanks Wendell, keep the spirit of adventure alive, Cheers!

It’s never too late Nelieta, the tandem paragliding is done with an expert so quite safe.
Paragliding is a great adventure activity !! I loved it when i was in north india !! Happy married life n belated New year wishes
Yeah it is, although initially I’m more drawn to hand gliding, but it seems to be more difficult and quite risky.
Happy 2012, Claire! All the best for you this year!
Same to you my friend, wishing you all the best as well.
gusto ko ring matry yan.. at pumunta sa aus.. happy new year, msclaire..
Hi RD, Happy New Year too, meron din yata paragliding sa atin, try ko din mukhang mas mura kasi
did you try it?it looks scary:/
happy new year ate…
It’s not that scary really, just the initial part where you run down from the launch pad. After that, it’s easy breezy
Oooh! I did that here in Pinas. There’s a fly site in Carmona
Ang saya! For me, it’s similar to riding a plane pero upuan lang, no walls or ceilings. Hehe!
Nice, I didn’t know there’s one in Carmona. I’ve only heard about the one in Clark.
How I love that stunning photo!
This is one of our favourite past-times in Bright Victoria. Plenty of great launch points as well as views and thermals to enjoy.
ikaw ba yung nagpapa-paraglide? ito na yung wow para sakin.pag me bloggers na gumagawa nyan,saludo ako.extreme na to for me kasi.hahaha
Yep that’s me in the orange paraglide taken by charles in another paraglide.
Hi, I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time but haven’t found where to do paragliding. Did you have to go through lessons first?

Hi Jemma, no need for a lesson if you’re doing it in tandem. The commercial paragliding is usually done in tandem. It takes at least a couple of lessons/training before you could do it on your own. I’ve heard it’s offered in Carmona.
hihihi! better late than never. hindi ko mapigilan hindi magcomment dahil super inggit na inggit ako. Aside from bungee jumping, paragliding din ang isa sa mga extreme activities na gusto ko itry bago ang sumakabilang buhay. hihihi! Kudos to you Ms. Claire. nakakatuwa talaga.. yan ang tapang.
