TIP TO TIP

Since Sonnie, Cory and Steve McClure left Scotland the Hot Aches team have been hard at work on various film projects.

First up was a filming visit to the very nerve-centre of ukclimbing.com. Deep in the slate mines of Llanberis we caught up with UKC's very own Jack Geldard for some editorial comment relating to some of the climbers in our new films.

Second up is a new DVD that we are filming in conjunction with two other production companies.



'Tip To Tip' will follow the adventure of 6 paramotorers attempting to fly the length of Britain assisted only by a large knotted handkerechief above their head and a desk fan strapped to their back. Ok, ok. It is a little bit more high-tech than that, but only a little bit.

The expedition starts next Tuesday from Land's End, and is due to finish at John O'Groats 8 days later.

Lynwen's first lesson in paramotoring. Colin issues instructions via the world's longest finger.

It does look like hard work. I'm sure I'll get to try this out a bit over the next two weeks.
