WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Free flying makes me feel alive like nothing else does. This book’s got it all, from the thrill of a first flight, to the fear of the unknown, the brushes with the Gods, and the sombre reminders of the ultimate power of gravity” – Gavin McClurg, author and podcaster
“It’s all here: supreme exhilaration, naked fear, serious injury, winning, losing, extreme adventure, inner strength. Every mood and every situation this this rich sport can conjure up … A terrific cross-section of some of the most inspiring writing about the entire spectrum of our sport. It’s a seriously good read” – Joe Schofield, Skywings Magazine
“I absolutely loved reading Head in the Clouds” – Jess Cox, paragliding instructor
“Masterfully written and artfully assembled, Head in the Clouds is, at the same time, inspirational and a spine-tingling look at my greatest fears. This book has departed from the traditional paragliding educational format to bring us something closer to the aesthetic writings of Jon Krakauer or John Long” – Ben Horton, National Geographic Adventure photographer and TV host
“Not often I get involved in a book – a bonza read! Good on ya!” – a surfer and occasional flyer
“I’m really enjoying dipping into it. A wonderfully inspiring selection of colourful tales” – Tristan Gooley, the Natural Navigator
“Head in the Clouds finally landed! I love it. Of course I read my own stuff first, arrogantly perhaps, but moreover to take myself back there to those oh so special times…. it was both cathartic and emotional. The book is fantastic. You should be proud. I’ve been dipping and out and enjoying it tale by tale. Guy Anderson’s inimitable inner English gentleman’s tone had me in stitches as he crashed into the US outback. I’ve got the Croatian Survivor racked up next” – Bob Drury, editor of Classic Routes
