The countdown has started. After six and a half months (even I can’t
believe it’s been this long) it is getting near the time to depart. Today

For the 1st time in such a long time I was up early for a reason! My sister and I were going to Chitwan National Park. The

was bringing a couple of bottles of decent wine for me. Brotherly
love…you just can’t beat it! A few days later I thought I should
be sociable, stop flying and spend some time ... Read more >

Or as some people call it: thermalling! Now, this is truly a
dark art, which if you try and teach yourself all you will get is WAY
TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND!!!!! (This is only a good thing if you are
coming into land!) So, I once again allowed Adam’s ... Read more >

don’t have right now is mine. I mean I paid for it 28 days ago. For the
last 6 days it has been hiding somewhere in Kathmandu…why? • They have to break down the shipment and sort through ... Read more >

I decided a break in my lounge experiment was needed. So…I spent the day examining Nepalese road conditions; nice! To

“I’m learning to fly but I haven’t got wings and coming down is the hardest thing!” Well, that’s not strictly true…landing is easy…but landing softly on your feet and where you want to is another matter entirely. It

I’ve been hanging out in Pokhara for a while now; it’s a lot busier
than when I first arrived! Mind you I am still being tracked down the
road by the “Tibetan Ladies Mafia” who for some reason still want to
sell me jewellery. When I’m in the bar ... Read more >

I’ve been hanging out in Pokhara for just over 3 weeks now. I have
become used to the almost daily power cuts but when they happen just
before the start of the championship deciding motogp race it can be

Pokhara. If you’re like me and you have time on your hands it can take

the 1st being the village of Gorkha. The ... Read more >

The flight from sweaty Varanasi was short but sweet. It was a case of
climb up to 35000 feet count to 30 and then descend. Taxing to a

outside. Now, that’s as hot as London usually ... Read more >
