I visted Oledeniz in Turkey with my wife who was recovering from a stress issues at the time where all day long you watch people Paragliding onto the landing area on the beach.  For some reason we thought that jumping off a 6000 feet high mountain would be a good idea to help her recover. Actually, she was fine, it was me who got a bit nervous up there because beforehand I was trying to be the big man and was telling my instructor to do all the loop the loop tricks that I saw him doing from the safety of my beach towel the day before.

However, when I was air bound I told him in no uncertain terms that he better not try anything smart or he will have a basketcase on his hands. Oh, how my wife laughed. She was holding the video camera so you can see me in this video quite a lot as I float down to the ground.  It was a truly amazing experience and one to which the video can only point to.  If you are in the area please make the effort to go and do it yourself, you will absolutely love it.  I will leave it up to you if you want to ask your guide to do the stunts however as you may be a bit braver than me.

My friend Pat lives in the countryside area just to the back of the Konyaalti area of Antalya. Here is a little video I made up when I cycled to his house on a warm day in August.

Here are some photos I took.
