A spectacular paragliding adventure in SNOWDONIA!

I was invited to the first paragliding adventure race to be held in the SNOWDONIA region of North Wales. But I wasn't prepared for how difficult the course would be, and how dramatic the landscape is from above. Come and share a spectacular flying adventure with me: the X-Eryri 2021. "being up here, in this place, this is why I fly and in a race like this, the transformation is even more intense from a miserable wretch, trudging on the surface, to a spirit set free amongst the clouds, riding the wind" For a technical analysis of the race and many more instructional videos, join my flying academy.
