Paragliding in the Cederburg thermals of South Africa. Hooking into a Boomer low down below the Dasclip ridge and riding it all the way to 5000 ft. Trying to catch up with two Black tailed Eagles over the Varmsbadbergkop, no chance! Putting it all together for a 42 km ridge run in turbulent conditions which put many of the Hot Shots on the deck

Climbing above the inversion on Schridian and Chino Dearg, with all the peaks of Locharber pointing their summits above a billowing sea of cloud. Scrambling over every pinnacle on Stach Pollaidh to sit in the sun on the summit, captivated by the grandeur of the North West Highlands
