Paul Knights and Dave Botha in the paraglide

Watch: Blackgang’s iconic landslide from the seat of a tandem paraglider

If you have ever wondered what it might be like to paraglide above the iconic Blackgang landslide, now is your time to find out.

Don’t worry, thanks to the latest short film from Ventnor resident, Paul Knights, you won’t need even go into the air to find out (unless you really want to).

Paul explained,

“I met Dave Botha (aka ‘Butterfly Dave’) when in Chale a few weeks testing out the latest bottle plane model.

“He followed up with an invite for me to fly in tandem with him on a paraglider – not an opportunity to be missed!”

After some skillful filming and editing, Paul shared this final cut below. Another great short film showcasing the beauty of the Isle of Wight.
