This Isn’t Flying - This Is Falling… With Style

Stomach is already skydiving

Ever since I watched the first Power Rangers movie in 1995, I’ve always wanted to skydive. Okay, I know how weird that might sound, but hear me out. The film opens with the six power rangers leaping from an aeroplane (not in their costumes but given the colour-coordination of their jumpsuits, they may as well have been), and it was this scene that inspired me to want to do the same.

Misty Mountain

Take that, Snowdon

They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and that less is more, so from here on in, my blog posts will be much shorter. That’s not to suggest I think all my posts up until now have been too long. I’ve simply wanted to share with you my experiences in their entirety as much as possible, but the reality is that, while travelling the world, both time and Wi-Fi are limited. But that’s not a bad thing. That said, pictures don’t do much justice for the scenery. Sure, you’ll think the pictures below - as well as those I’ve already shared - are stunning, but I just can’t stress how they are no patch on seeing the real thing, as they lack the grandeur, the majesty, the striking colours, the depth, and the sheer scope of the landscape. It’s a lesson learned for having not invested in a proper camera before going away, I guess, but then I suppose this is where the writing comes in.
