Every year the stunning hills of the Black Mountains play host to an adventure race like no other, paragliding hike & fly. Pilots from across the world descend on this small corner of Wales to battle it out across a 60-100km route over two days. The aim is to fly as much as possible, but hiking is inevitable. This years conditions were favourable with a few pilots completing the route on the first day.

Others spent the night in the hills before hiking the remaining sections thanks to a deterioration in the weather. Dolomite creative had the pleasure of covering this amazing event with both photographer Henry George and journalist Jack Sheard working together to provide photo, video and press coverage. Check out what we got up to below.
