Handgliding over Rio..... just like a bird.

We went hangliding in Rio as a Xmas present from Ed´s mum, thanks Andro!! Wasn´t sure what we were getting into but it was a jump off 550m Pedro Bonito and that was enough for me to be chewing off my fingernails! You take off over Tijuca National Park and gradually descend over the favelas and beach to land on Praiha Sao Conrado.

More than a little nervous beforehand

Ed in prep at the ramp.

You just have to run till the ground dissappears from under you.
That is definitely the worst bit.
Breathe!!!!!!!

Ed just after take off........

Here´s me mid flight

Here´s me mid flight again!


Ed watching me come in

and triumphant after best thing we have ever done in our lives!!!
