Welcome. I don’t use this much blog anymore, but there is still some good content here from back in the day, and I still travel a lot. Now though I just share on my Facebook and Youtube channels and then share that content here.

Finished for the day. Small practice tow this morning and 2 sunset flights on my new wing Advance Pi 2., at Ronda. Damn she’s a lively one! And I really really love it! Link to original post on Facebook with more images
Starting a Pilotage course today with Flyspain Paragliding Centre. Which means getting towed above the lake to a few thousand feet, and then simulating things going wrong so we can learn how to deal with them. Never done tow before so should be fun! Link
I know topless selfies are a bit of a social media faux pas, but I’ve been working hard and am proud of what I accomplished the last 4 and a half months. So there… 97kg down to about 77kg now! Link to original post on
So I was going to Switzerland for June on a Contra to do some flying and working. But a few things have changed and I now have a big job coming up which I have been looking forward to getting stuck into for some time.

It’s time to change my mindset. I have been wallowing in self pity for awhile now. It has been fading over time as I become more acquainted with my own company, but throughout the last few months it has been there in varying degrees. I have
Paragliding training, done! Random Paramotoring skillz week, done! Leaving Mexico and seeing a few places in Europe, kinda done! So what now? What happens after this little sojourn into the Spanish countryside? I have no bloody idea that’s what! I came to Spain because I had
Hello from Montenegro. I am sitting in my amazing hotel room after having a huge day by most peoples standards and trying to digest the mountain of meat I just ate, which is even more difficult because for the last week I have been eating
I have been back in London now for almost 2 months and it has been a whirlwind of emotions and realisations deeply intermingled with dozens of other equally poignant ‘tions. I find myself in a place so foreign and far out of my experiences for
Let me start by saying, more so now than ever, I have no bloody idea what I’m doing, where I’m going, or if I can be bothered, but I probably can. I have one thing to stick to, just one. I have paid for it,
Just when you think you have an idea of what your life is going to be, reality comes along and lets you know that you don’t. This pretty much describes where I’m at right now. As some will know Sarah and I have decided to
We recently spent 5 nights in Cuba and although we didn’t see it all of course, we saw a few of the good bits! We began and ended our Cuban adventure in Havana with a couple nights in Vinales for good measure. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H86zz2O2C8E?rel=0&showinfo=0] I
Paramotoring in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. This was my 24th and 25th flight but my first proper flight on the Caribbean coast. It was an amazing couple flights with a spectacular view. [vc_video link=’https://youtu.be/02pFDl9T0z0′] Check out more Paramotor videos here on my channel… The wind has
[vc_video link=’https://youtu.be/6yL3hxi4JoQ’] Check out my other Paramotor videos here! I had not flown for 6 months so could not wait to get back up on my paramotor. Which is why I made a bad decision to fly even though I knew it was not good
It has been just over a year now since I first got into the Powered Paragliding game. So far I have taken my flying through three countries but really haven’t flown anywhere near enough. Mostly because being a beginner it was hard to find places

It has been just about three years since we left Australia to embark on this lifestyle, give or take a few days. I’m not very good at remembering what day it is any more, unless I have a skype call to make or a toy
For those of you who don’t know, Sarah and I are not professional snowboarders, in fact it is quite the opposite, unless you count a week 6 years ago we have nary given it a thought throughout our travels. BUT! For some reason when our
My second paramotor flight in Whitefish and my 22nd overall. I had a terrible take-off this time and a not much better landing, but I know what I did wrong! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P97tR7ZgphE?rel=0] When launching I overcompensated the wing by pulling too much right brake, when
So we’re back on the road again having left Miss Amazing and Montana behind, and one of our first stops on the way to Portland is a little unexpected place called Ellensburg. Usually on these driving days we get to places too late to have
I am not a believer in public break ups, but sometimes you just need an outlet for the pain, a way to say goodbye and to release all the crazy thoughts swirling around inside your grief stricken brain. So with that in mind please bear
Our American road trip has already taken us through some amazing parts of the U.S. There is such a variety of landscapes and lifestyles in this one country that it almost boggles the mind. It is one of the reasons we decided to road trip
