Well, that sounds fine and dandy but what if the weather isn’t always on for paragliding? Should I still go? What is there to do??

Well, the Castle Hill area is spectacular on its own and offers cool sights and activities for all.

The rock climbing/bouldering is great and there is even a cool cave to explore near by.

The mountain bike is also great and well organised, offering kilometres of established trails. You should get your fix one way or another...
