Telelink summer webinar series: Miles Hilton-Barber

Kicking things off in the first of our summer webinar series is Miles Hilton-Barber started a life of adventure in his fifties, thirty years after losing his eyesight.
He became the first blind pilot to undertake a 55-day, 21,000km Microlight flight from London to Sydney in 2007. At the same time he broke the world record for altitude achieved in a Microlight in the process.
Since then he has broken the sound barrier, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Blanc, run marathons in Siberia and the Gobi Desert, crossed the Qatar Desert in 78 hours and explored the bottom of the ocean.
