Exploring the limits of paragliding (The Journey 2008)

An artistic take on the essence of paragliding and going solo. Leaving Cape Town behind and heading for the mountains with only a paraglider for company, I begin a journey which takes me over the peaks and deep into the South African wilderness. On the surface, this is a paragliding adventure, but underneath it is a story of self-discovery and an attempt to answer the question: why do I fly?

This is a bit of history from 2008. My film-making and coaching have progressed! Get behind the scenes and elevate your own flying on http://flywithgreg.com
