Written by admin

BANGKOK, THAILAND - They don’t come better than this - don’t you love a granny with buzz about them. There’s no holding Peggy McAlpine (yes, McAlpine) after her Bungy jump 20yrs ago at age 80, she’s now managed to enter the Guinness book of records for going Paragliding at age 100! Incredible.

“I was sitting in a chair floating above the mountains. I’m not scared at all.”

She jumped tandem off a 2,500ft peak in a craggy Cyprus mountain. I hope there was a either a road of cable-car to get her up there!

Got to thank Alan at Paratiger for mailing us this one!
