  • If you you only have a few mins watch from 12:53 for Tajikistan flying, otherwise, grab yourself a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy my short "tongue in cheek" film about the first year of my adventures in paragliding. Including an SIV in Turkey 6:56, Vol Biv Across New Zealand 4:27, finally culminating in an epic adventure across Tajikistan 9:10, with a few crashes along the way 2:46, 5:26!!
    Big thanks to:

      Thanks, Mark, for the kind words. I can't fly solo anymore, but I did get up in a glider once again this year, as I do every year, and had a nice trip out over the glaciers… As a passenger in the backseat, of course.
