In this second episode of our 'Flybubble Walk Climb Fly' vlog miniseries we join mountaineering instructor, paraglider pilot and guest filmmaker Rob Johnson as he climbs Dolmen Ridge, a grade 3 scramble in Snowdonia, with his mate Bryn. Together they then fly from the summit of the Glyderau to land by the car - if only the pub was open! Pure and simple Paralpinism, UK style.

🚶‍♂️🧗‍♀️🪂 Paralpinism: To climb up on foot and fly back down.

The roots of paragliding can be traced back to the simple joy of walking to the top of a hill and flying back down. As equipment has progressed over the decades the emphasis has been on the flying and pilots have, on the whole, been able to avoid the walking element and just fly, catching thermals for height.

As gliders got ever lighter (as little as 1kg) climbers once again realised the potential for flying off the mountains having climbed a route to the top. In the French Alps the concept of Paralpinism was born with lightweight gliders being a fantastic way to avoid the slog of the walk down.
