My name is Alastair Collis I am a sky dealer in Whistler BC canada. I am an instructer and tandem pilot and have flown on most continents, mainly in the mountainous areas. I am setting of on a trip to teach a mongolian national to fly a paraglider. I am flying to Hong Kong for 5 days then on to Beijing and Linzhou for 7 days. I will then ride the trans mongolian express into MOngolia. I then meet Bassaanbat and start to teach him to fly . We will drive across country to find sites out to Uliastay and then down south to the Ghobi dessert. I will then travel on to Russia by train to lake Baikal, Moscow and St Petersburg. I then fly to the UK where i will be flying in Western Scotland for the summer......I am nothing but a martyr!
