New British Tandem declared goal record
Young UK pilots, Theo Warden and Lawrie Noctor have set a new British Tandem declared goal record after a 71 km flight.
Lawrie shares his experience:
“Both myself and Theo have been talking about breaking the tandem declared record for some time now, however it was until last month Theo got his tandem rating. On Saturday night, we agreed the weather looked good enough to give it a go and decided Theo would be first to pilot and I would do the next good day out on the tandem.
After setting a 66km goal that Richard had given us (thanks) we decided to change it slightly and increased it to 71km to a small village called Spaldington just before getting airborne.

ULTRALITE 4 PRODUCT VIDEO
Check out the latest informative video for the Ultralite 4.OZONE’s research into light-wing construction began back in 2001 with the introduction of the Peak, one of the first modern mountain-specific wings. The Ultralite series followed, and has been widely considered the benchmark for Hike & Fly wings ever since. The 4th generation of the Ultralite series is a totally new design that is packed with new features and technology. The UL4 delivers a higher level of efficiency, increased glide performance, higher top speed, more agility, and even easier inflation behaviour. To top it off, the UL4 is a few grams lighter than any previous Ultralite, with even smaller pack volume!Enjoy the video for more info from the designers,
