Gazing up at the clear blue sky, I was amazed at the view.
Miles above where I stood, at the top of Mam Tor in the Peak District in May 2019, were hundreds of paragliders.
That looks incredible, I thought. I need to do that.

Finding a one-off taster day near the Peak District, I didn’t hesitate before I pressed ‘book’.
Soon, I was anticipating my first flight on a sunny August bank holiday morning in 2019.
‘Let’s give this a go,’ I smiled at my instructor.
I wasn’t even nervous – having hang-glided before, heights didn’t faze me.
