Dench becomes 1st woman to paraglide across English Channel
"Human Swan" Sacha Dench has become the first woman to cross the English Channel in a motorised paraglider, during her 7,200-kilometre three-month journey following migrating birds from Russia to Britain. The 41-year-old, who has been using a parachute wing and a propeller engine, has been researching why the number of Bewick's swans migrating to the UK have declined.
