We are deeply saddened to announce the death of a pilot taking part in the Icarus X Series UK in the south west of England. Update attached:

What do paramotorists do while waiting for the conditions to settle? Eat ice cream

Andy Yarlett cruising across the line

6th in Mr Wayne.

At Checkpoint 2 we ask pilots to take a photo to show they got there. Paul paranoob Mockford nailed it

Some of our pilots have been temporarily grounded by the thermic conditions

We're pleased to say Lukas managed to find fuel

These are the views Paul is enjoying right now

Vytas: our international pilot has trained hard to be in the podium this year. Respected by all for his zero to hero during this Icarus. Yesterday he was hosted by a family of farmers

Blaise: proud member of FlySpain, amazing take over this morning after taking off from a very small camping sites, taking some RV aerials with him during the lauch. Overtook Vytas by doing CP3 without unhooking the wing

Alex Huxham just learnt flying last summer in Italy with skyschool, impressive. He wants to thank PARAJET, with his extra large tank PPG skunkworks tank and El Capitan

"Couldn't find fuel, time to ask locals for help again" - Lukas

"Fuel stopped delivering 2.5 miles from petrol station despite having 2 litres left. Could be a long walk" - Tim

Tatum has found a friendly farmer to give him coffee, cake and a lift.

Who knew tracking a race online could be so intense? @IcarusTrophy Well done Alex the 2019 winner. Will it be “The Spoons” taking first place in the tandems? 😂😂

Flying over the Quantocks. @IcarusTrophy #icarusx
