85 Year Old Lady Takes to the Skies
June 13, 2011 by Manu Wegmershaus
Madge, 85, from Cape Town, South Africa, showed no signs of fear when she arrived to go paragliding with her grand daughter Ariella who was leaving for London and had decided she would bring her granny along to go paragliding with here as a farewell.
The wind was ideal and after a few steps Madge and I were in the air and soaring. After soaring for about 20 minutes we headed out to land. The landing was soft and easy and Madge was “ecstatic” as she told us afterwards.
“Go with the flow” is Madge’s paradigm on life. We agree! Thanks for flying with us Madge!
