Wingsuit flyer wants to break highest flight record


A man has set his sights on breaking the record for the highest-ever wingsuit jump.

Tim Howell, from Martock, in Somerset, regularly climbs up mountains across the world and then flies back down them in a wingsuit.

He is now looking for a location from which to achieve his lifetime ambition to set a world record in wingsuit flying – the most extreme air sport in the world.

For a full interview with Tim, you can listen to BBC Radio Somerset’s weekly sports show on BBC Sounds.
