这个假期来点不一样的，像鸟一样飞行，Easter Bright 9天Paragliding

Tictac999

太激动了，刚刚报名参加了4月18日开始在维州秋天最最迷人的Bright为期9天的Paragliding 课程。 Bright的秋天美的醉人，踩在吱吱做响的落叶上，看着漫山的红叶，跟随着落叶旋转，品味着这座古老的小镇带来的安逸与美丽。今年，我要从不同的角度来享受Bright的美丽。

很久很久以前，人类就向往能像鸟一样的在天空自由自在的飞行。 如今，最能够接近这种飞行的运动要属Hang Gliding和Paragliding。 如果从飞行享受来说, 无疑Hang Gliding 是最好的，但是需要飞行者有良好的体能，因为设备大约在75kg左右，需要你自己扛到山上。 对于大多数飞行爱好者来说， Paragliding的设备类似降落伞，自己背着毫无压力。

出行准备
Bright距墨尔本350公里，开车4个小时可以到。

第一步和飞行学校确认4月18日准时开班，交了1800学费，然后赶紧定酒店。学校在Wandiligong,也是一座历史悠久的小镇，这次也打算去看看。

Accommodation: Bright 的Autumn Leaf Festival 每年都是5月初开始，Easter break的时候红叶已经开始红了，也是最贵的时候, 好的旅店甚至需要提前一年预订，而且至少是5 night min stay. 现在各大订房网站wotif, booking.com都已经没房了。这里推荐brightescape.com.au, 还能找到住的地方，Bright town center 现在订的价位都已经在300/晚左右了，我订的离镇中心1公里的地方是$200 per night. 没办法，虽然房价比平时贵了许多，但是easter假期+Anzac long weekend,只要请3天假就可以了，所以还是合算的。飞行学校离Bright 3.5公里远。

这两天看到隔壁帖子老婆坚决不同意给老公买摩托车，怕危险。 我想说的是任何活动都有危险，但是如果你守规矩，严格按照规定操作是可以避免危险的。而Paragliding 是extremely safe 的，过去大部分所发生的意外，都是操作者起飞之前没有检查设备或是没有听从指导所造成的。

It looks great. You like thrills. You've always wanted to be a bird. You can go places nobody else can. It looks so serene. The view must be brilliant.
If you think any of these, then you should be flying with us - definite. All the above are true of hang gliding, paragliding and triking. Forget the confines of airports, the narrow aluminium tube of a passenger jet, and ordinary mortal style flying. Think instead about skimming metres above a remote mountain top in the company of a wedge tailed eagle, climbing under a cloud until you are so cold your fingers start to freeze, flying for hours using only your skill and the invisible lift the air can provide, soaring high and cool over beaches packed with hot and sweaty sunbathers. These are what flex wing flying are all about.

You don't have to be a wannabee bird, you don't have to be staggeringly fit, you don't have to be shockingly wealthy. But you do have to have a sense of adventure and be keen to discover new things. The important thing is, what kind of flying to do? Here are some pointers to help you sort out which way to go.
All lightweights (microlight trikes, hang gliders and paragliders) are as safe as the person in control, and it's almost unheard of for design and structural failures to cause accidents. So choosing which to go for depends on you - and only you know how safe you are.

Safety - all forms of lightweight flying (microlight trikes, hang gliders and paragliders) are as safe as the person in control. Today, it is almost unheard of for design and structural failures to cause accidents. Flying is as safe as the pilot - and only you know how safe you are.
