When Guy Anderson went missing during the Sun Valley Paragliding World Cup in
August 2012 the hearts of pilots around the world sank.

With a failed tracking system, and no one knowing where he was, the job of
finding him was like the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Alone and injured on a hillside 20km from anywhere Guy spent more than 48 hours
out in the wilderness before help finally arrived.

During that time he managed to start self rescue, walking step by painful step
down the valley towards civilisation.

When he was found, alive, pilots everywhere rejoiced.

Now, two months later, Guy has written his story of survival down for Cross
Country magazine. Self-effacing as ever when he submitted his remarkable tale he
told us it probably wasn’t up to much.

Of course, the opposite was true. A difficult story to tell has been brilliantly
told.

The video above is from Guy’s phone. As he hiked, three bone-crunching steps at
a time, he took mini movies on his phone. This one is of the moment after a
helicopter had flown over him, apparently missing him.

issue 144 of Cross Country Magazine.
