Flying John O Groats to Lands End for charity (Paramotor Flight Against Alzheimer's Highlights)

Описание: The John O Groats to Lands End challenge has been attempted by many over the years but very few by paramotor. I set out to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer's Research UK by flying the route.

The equipment I used was a Bulldog Paramotor with Vittorazi Atom 80 engine clipped into a Dudek Nucleon WRC 27m. Together I used these to run into the sky and fly for 34 hours, over 7 days, covering 790 miles! The conditions were forecast to be much better than they actually were for the challenge. I battled turbulent air from mountain flying, strong wind launches and landings, thermals, landing out, being sick and even crashing into a tree.

The importance of the challenge came from losing my grandparents 3 years ago. My grandad suffered from Alzheimer's for 13 years and my nanny with Vascular dementia. Dementia is not a part of getting old, it's a horrible disease that takes over and leaves just a shell of the person you once knew.

Alzheimer's Research UK estimates that 1 in 3 people born today will develop some form of dementia in their lifetime if a cure isn't found.
