Paragliding off Treble Cone


On a fine morning, we decided to go paragliding.  We started from here and ended up at the road waaay down below.

Another paraglider was already out early having a good go of it.

All geared up and ready to go!

And they’re off.

Thanks to Wanaka Paragliding for these photos.


Coming in for a landing.

 

Preparing to step off the planet.

 

And away we go!

 

 Cars are really small from up high.

 It is an exhilarating feeling having nothing underneath you and being powered only by the winds.

 Circling around the mountain looking for thermals.
