It's time to take it back in the skies! This time I had the pleasure to experience a breathtaking, epic paragliding proximity flying and I was soaring dangerously close to the cliffs, enjoying a scenic landscape of the endless ocean. #paragliding #soaringflying #traveling
I finally arrived at a new paragliding spot, that is not very frequented by many pilots. After spending the night under the stars on my inflatable matress, I was woken up by an amazing sunrise and I started my day early in the morning. The wind conditions were great and it was time for a well deserved paragliding flight once again... this time soaring the cliffs in Leucate, France.
I asked around what the flight regulations were and got ready for an epic proximity flight. I took off 2 times which was easy, had some sweet laminar sea wind and I tried to top land which worked out... kinda :)
For the second flight, I flew even close to the cliffs which was a crazy, unbelievable feeling, almost surreal. Later on, I didn't manage to stay up anymore, lost the altitude and had to land on the beach... in a safe manner!

There is a lot to tell and show about this epic bike journey. I've had very beautiful and exciting moments but also moments of pain, frustration and misery. Traveling on bike for such long distances teaches you who you really are, what you really want in life and what you are made of.
