Tip to Tip 2008 Drops in! - richiex's Blog | MayContainNuts.com Blog

The tip to tip guys, you know, the ones that are flying from Lands End to John o' Groats, well they finally made it to Yorkshire today for their Pie 'n' peas!

It's been a roller coaster ride for them over the last eight days, 6 of them started the flight with eight ground crew following, by the time they reached us here in Yorkshire they where down to 3 and a half pilots in the air, the half was Peter B who was struggling with his ailing Paramotor.

After a couple of hours rest, a good feed, watering and repairs they were ready for the next leg of there journey.

They all managed to get off the ground except Peter who's Paramotor still wasn't 100%, a few hours later they where in Scotland, just managing to get over the border before the rain hit.

Thursday's weather isn't too favourable but with Friday looking an excellent flying day a good hard push should see them not far from there goal John o' Groats and maybe with an ounce of luck they may even get there.

You can follow the rest of they epic journey at www.Paramotors.org

you can also donate to there chosen charities at there website too, all donations no matter how small are very welcome, the charities are;

The Children's Trust and The Air Ambulance
