VIDEO: Technology to the fore as Kerry adventurer makes ’paramotor’ history

Kerry adventurer and polar explorer, Mike O’Shea, has become the first person to fly from Mizen Head to Malin Head by a paramotor.

Travelling at heights of up to 10,000 feet with temperatures reaching below zero, the adventurer completed the 590km journey over three days, navigating his journey and monitoring his health through hazardous conditions using mobile technology.

His flight was supported by Vodafone Ireland to mark the launch of the Vodafone Firsts programme, a global initiative that encourages people to do something remarkable for the first time – with mobile technology at the core of their adventure.
