"Don't worry about dying, worry about not living."
Or rather, don't worry at all and just live it.
I've always lived by the words: don't regret the things you didn't do. Luckily for the most part I've gotten myself into all kinds of fun stuff, and paragliding is the latest and greatest.
I've tested the elements, and figured that the air element is where true magic happens, because what can possibly be more awesome than flying like birds? Luckily Vesterålen has what might be some world class mountains and conditions for those who've found or are about to find the love of flight.
Vesterålen, where the mountains are less harsh than the mountains with our closest neighbour and more world famous "Lofoten". However, this doesn't put Vesterålen in a corner. Let me tell you this: it's friggin' wicked awesome for hike and fly! Once you get airborne the silence of flight and the spectacular view is poetry. Sometimes we follow the true masters of flight - the eagles - on their soaring along the ridgelines, following them is where we'll find the best conditions. Figures, .. they've got more flighthours than we'll ever get. The freedom of flight is addictive.. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.
If you come by, make sure you check this experience off your list. Preferrably in the midnight sun, followed by a beach break with a bonfire and an afterflight barbecue or beer/soda. ;)

Very cool! Always wanted to try this :D
This is truly magical and everything is so silent at night, making it perfect.
Du som klatrer, har du vært i Lofoten og klatret? Har du vært og klatret Reka i vesterålen? Er jo bare et steinkast fra Lofoten til Vesterålen. =)
Nope, har ikke fått gleden av å oppleve Lofoten enda. Bucket list! ;D
Da har du noen perler å se frem til! Lofoten er riktignok best klatring etter min erfaring, men Reka er verdt en tur. Ellers har vi dårlig med klatring på denne siden av fjorden.
Håper vi får lese om det her isåfall! =)
Riktig godt nytt klatreår! ;)
Very Nice !!
Thanks! It's magical and never tiring. Have you ever tried paragliding?
Beautiful!
