The arrival in Sydney

Congratulations Miles, Richard and Brian!

On monday 30th April, 55 days after the start of this adventure the Microlight finally landed in Sydney, Australia. It was a spectacular end to a magnificant journey where the team traveled over 13,500 miles, through more than 21 countries and flew for over 250 hours.

Their flight took them over deserts, forests, mountains and seas and they battled with high winds, rain and snow storms in order to reach Sydney. You can read all about these adventures in the blog dairies.
