It's the nearest you can get to a real-life flying dream, that feeling of floating effortlessly into the air and then soaring out over the landscape. The smooth, steep slopes of the Wiltshire Downs are made for paragliding. Beginners start with tethered flights and end up with a short solo. Sound dull?
