Story

On the 29th of July 2008, Six Paramotor Pilots supported by a ground crew start an epic flight for their chosen charities, 'The Forces Children's Trust' & 'The Regional Air Ambulances'. They are flying from Lands End to John O'Groats. They will cross 20 counties, over 700 miles and expect this flight to take 8 days of intense flying with most nights spent in tents at paramotorclub.org affiliate clubs along the route. They will have to navigate around major airways such as Plymouth, Exeter, Bristol, Birmingham, and East Midlands (not to mention the military Fighter Jet dog fighting in Scotland! 700 miles at a penny a mile.... thats seven quid to go to help the children of servicemen and women hurt in action; twopence a mile is 14 quid. Not a lot after what they have given. Follow the event here
