Motorised Paraglider Tip to Tip 2008
6 Paraglider pilots are trying to fly across Britain from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise money for two charities: The children Forces trust and The Air Ambulance services.
Tip to Tip 2008 begain on July 29th 2008 when the 6 pilots Simon Westmore, Peter Baldwin, Richard Whitmarsh, Mike Silvester, Simon Payneand and Francis Rich took off from Land's End and the motorised paraglider (paramotor) pilots where hoping to have completed the flying trip in 8 days however the UK weather has not been in their favour, and yesterday was the eighth day, so now they are extending their paramotor flying days in order to complete the adventure and raise money for their chosen charities.
The 6 man motorised paraglider team are currently in Derby, here is to wishing them success in their flying adventure across the UK, as I could use information from their experience when I start planning my motorised hang glider flight to cover the same distance.
