Being in lockdown has got me dreaming about all the adventures I've had around the world.
On my visit to Austria, to the idyllic village of Hopfgaarten, I had the opportunity to go paragliding. I was a bit nervous when I signed up, but it's always been something I wanted to try.
This is the "runway", it's pretty steep and fairly intimidating.
I was still a bit nervous because I didn't know what to expect.
Finally, it's time to get geared up.
The parachute fills with air as we start running down the mountain.
The takeoff is amazingly smooth, you just lift your legs up...
... and float away.
In part 2, I'll share some of the amazing aerial photos that I took while we floated down to the village below.
And YOU!
