IF you could choose one superpower, it would be flying, surely?
Dave Cornthwaite and Alex Ledger are preparing for a 1000-mile crossing of Nepal by paraglider, along the Himalayas in 2013. Alex, MD of www.skyschooluk.com, began teaching Dave to paraglide from scratch, in February 2011. More on www.davecornthwaite.com
In Feb/ March 2011 I took his first steps towards becoming a competent paragliding pilot, during a visit to Pokhara, Nepal. Still early in the planning stages, this expedition promises to be one of the most exciting in Expedition1000.
Eventually the plan is to glide, thermal and fly 1000 miles across Nepal, using air currents and thermals from the Himalayan range, in one of the most technical and potentially hazardous journeys possible.
If you'd like to learn how to Paraglide, visit www.skyschooluk.com, they're quite good!
