On July 29 2008, six paramotor pilots will begin an epic flight the length of the UK and in so doing, raise funds for The Forces Children’s Trust and the Regional Air Ambulances. The team will fly from Lands End in the south of England to John O’Groats, the northernmost point of Scotland.

They will make their 1100km journey flying Dudek wings with Parajet motors, and landing every 3 hours for petrol, food and water they expect this journey to take 8 days. Other paramotorists will be joining them in the air for parts of the journey.

The team is looking for sponsorship to help them achieve their goal. For more information, contact them via their website at www.tiptotip.co.uk
