Those of you that have been to Neiderau (and there seems to be quite a few) may have seen Jurgen soaring the skies with his tandem Paraglider.

Well on our Wedding day my new Wife decided to have a go. Unfortunately running in ski boots it was never gonna be pretty :shock:

LMAO at the running part, then gasping with admiration! Well done, I bet it was great being up there!
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

Ellistine,
Watching it, I was really worried something was about to go horribly wrong. Your new wife must be very brave - well done.

That's one holiday activity definitely off my list!

Knowing Mrs Ellis as I do, she would have loved every single second of that. She is quite mad in the nicest possible way, and the being dragged along on her face would only have added to the fun for her I would imagine.

I looked at them doing that in Mayrhofen over the past couple of years, and thought "Yeah, I could do that" and every time someone says "go on then" my bottom starts to twitch and I find a reason why not. I do think you have to either be totally fearless, mad as a box of frogs, or just pretty brave.
I know those that do it, and parachuting too, say its a massive rush and a fantastic feeling flying about above the ground.

Fair play to Kim, she is one hell of a gal.
