  • If you you only have a few mins watch from 12:53 for Tajikistan flying, otherwise, grab yourself a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy my short "tongue in cheek" film about the first year of my adventures in paragliding. Including an SIV in Turkey 6:56, Vol Biv Across New Zealand 4:27, finally culminating in an epic adventure across Tajikistan 9:10, with a few crashes along the way 2:46, 5:26!!
    Big thanks to:

      Hi Stewart, I came across your story in XC mag again recently, sobering! - you are not forgotten

      Thanks, Mark, for the kind words. I can't fly solo anymore, but I did get up in a glider once again this year, as I do every year, and had a nice trip out over the glaciers… As a passenger in the backseat, of course.

    Really fantastic. I am paragliding and climbing myself as well. I have also travelled Tadjikistan. But would not dare to do this. You are right Tadjiks are very friendly but distances are huge between villages. If something goes wrong there is no cellphone reception. Thermals are extremely strong. And on top of that you had almost no experience and probably also did not speak russian. Certainly a high risk undertaking…
