Hike and Fly Highlights of 2023

The first 6 months of owning my own little glider after getting signed off for it in the spring has given some of the most sensational moments of my life. Its added a new layer of fun to the mountains and opened up a brand new set of ambitions at home in the Lakes and also Scotland, Norway and the Alps for 2024, kind of wish I'd started this habit 10 years ago! Please get in touch if you also fly wings like this or in a hike and fly context and you're keen to get out and tick off some smart objectives :)

Nice mate !

[@jamesaustrums]

Thanks mate, looking forward to doing something with you guys very soon!

This is just downright bad ass. Like jaw dropped. I love watching you dance along the mountain side. You should also give paragliding with an actual paragliding wing a try. Although that might be to tame for you.

Haha thanks man, I’ve said I’ll take up xc when I get old 😂 although aspects of that discipline are also scary! For now I’m hooked on how small these things pack and what that allows you do with them and where you can take them! Loving it :)

@@jamesaustrums Sadly it's pretty flat where I live in PA so I have to strap a motor to my back to fly.

@@Les__Mack I was going to call you noisy 😂 then remembered a mate does this….
