HangGliding & ParaGliding are unique activities well suited to the Cumbrian Landscape. Whether you're choosing a one-off adrenaline fix or trying out a unique extreme sport, let the wind scoop you up to soar around the fabulous Lake District Fells. With expert tuition you could be up there flying solo or in tandem within a matter of hours. A paraglider has a more rigid frame than a hang-glider and is steered by a control bar. You lie suspended from a special harness under a large wing and can launch under your own steam or with a tow from a winch or a microlight. More information from the Cumbria Soaring Club.
