IF you could choose one superpower, it would be flying, surely?

In Feb/ March 2011 I took his first steps towards becoming a competent paragliding pilot, during a visit to Pokhara, Nepal. Still early in the planning stages, this expedition promises to be one of the most exciting in Expedition1000.

Eventually the plan is to glide, thermal and fly 1000 miles across Nepal, using air currents and thermals from the Himalayan range, in one of the most technical and potentially hazardous journeys possible.
