HP Extreme Testing

I’m off with my brother Ben and world paramotor champion Michel Carnet to the Gran Sabana area of Venezuela. Humid rainforest meets wide open savannah along with huge flat-topped mountains called tepuis which were the inspiration behind Conan Doyle’s Lost World. We will spend three weeks out there and hope to have some spectacular flying whilst avoiding the notorious bushmaster snakes, bird eating tarantulas and blood sucking vampire bats.

We will attempt to update this blog via our satellite phone from time to time. Wish us luck!

Best of luck in Venezuela!! Look forward to following your progress....wonderful to see you will be gaining experience navigating wildlife as well as flying - good practice for Africa! Hope to see you here in Kenya very soon :-)
