Sue (my wife) and I are pleased to have been invited on
the trip of a lifetime, one that will rival the feats of the
early pioneering aviators.

I finally accomplished my dream of flying when I took to
the air as a paragliding pilot in 2002 and then moving on
to paramotors only a year later.

In 2007 I took up a post on the National UK paramotor
competitions committee as secretary. The committee
oversees the running of UK competitions, training and
selection of the British squad entering into international
events. In the last two World Championships the British
team has won silver medals in China, 2007 and in the
Czech Republic in 2009 with Michel Carnet also winning an

an individual gold place.

In 2008 on one of our other trips Sue and I travelled
to Basse-Ham in France where I took to the skies
in the World record flight of the most paramotor
pilots in the air at any one time. Out of more than
500 pilots who turned up from all over the world, 327
pilots managed to be part of the record.

Once again Sue and I are proud to be part of the
TGPPG team as ground crew and I hope to be able
to get some truly memorable flying in along the way.
