Guest Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 All, I am interested to know how many people would be interested in a once in a life time type Paramotor experience (details to follow) but assume it will be the most amazing thing you have ever and will ever do. It is not massively dangerous, but would be massively exciting. The expedition will be filmed. Being self funded, the cost per head will be around £4 to 5k (based on 10 people) so not everyones cup of tea price wise. This is not a profit making thing. This is very much a toe dipping question based on an expedition that has been presented to me by a good friend in the industry. Please PM if you are excited by reading this post, if your not.... dont as places will be VERY limited. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 WOW what an awesome response! I have a total of 7 people interested in this already.

Guest Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Having now spoken to most of you, Organisation of an expedition to fly around Mt Kilimanjaro is now underway. mount-kilimanjaro-2.jpg[/attachment] While Kilimanjaro obviously doesn’t have the highest elevation of any mountain in the world, it is the tallest freestanding mountain rise in the world, rising 15,100 feet (4,600 meters) from its base. Kilimanjaro is also the tallest mountain in Africa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coggie49 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 We (me and the other half) in 1998 started making plans with some good friends to walk to the top, but to fly round it, WOW, but like lots of things in life it came to nothing. Looking forward to watching this develop. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 The only thing that will stop this from happening is if the people who said they wanted to do it, decide not to want to do it. To be fair, I can't see that happening due to the sheer 'epicness' of the expedition. This is a super exciting expedition which is already keeping me awake with excitement! For those of you who's names I have... just take a moment to look at the pictures about and imagine you and your Paramotor in them.

Guest Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 All, The projected dates for the expedition are: The 14th to the 28th of September 2012. We have a list of 10 names already and can take a maximum of 15 people. The cost as expected will be close to £5k but not exceeding this. If you would like to pay monthly, this can be arranged. A NON refundable (unless the event is cancelled by us) deposit of £1000, will secure your place. (we can not hold places open until we have the deposit) The final payment will be asked for (3 months) before departure on this epic adventure. The planning is going very well indeed, with my people talking to there people most days. PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you have sent me your details to register interest and have changed your mind. More info, website, t-shirts coming soon SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
