Today i went handgliding!It left me with such a buzz. I went on my own which in a way made me more nervous but the instructir was really funny etc...had the usual routine of telling jikes and trying to wind me up...original!I was strapped into a full body harness which made me look and feel like i was in a cocoon!The whole instruction process wwnt so fast...i think because he didn't want me to be anxious which meant that when it actually came to taking off i ended up just going with the flow...basically i clung on to the instructor as tightly as i could (he said later that one of the highlights of his job is the cuddle at the beginning!). Take off involved running a few steps off a platform on top of the cliff on the most eastern part of Australia. So today i can say i ran off a cliff. As you leave the platform you fall for about 2 seconds and then lift up into the air. I really enjoyed the take off probably because of the adrenaline rush.
......internet running out...will have to finish later! x x x x
