Nicky represented her country at the European Paragliding Championships in Greece during October 2004. In 2005 Nicky returned to Australia where she was a member of the four-strong team which won the hotly-contested Manilla XC Open in New South Wales. A month later, in March 2005, she flew at the World Championships in Governador Valadares, Brazil. Once again she was a member of the seven-strong British Team (five men and two women).
Back in Europe she competed in Italy, where she set a new British Out-and-Return distance record while flying in the Polish Open in Pieve D'Alpago, Italy. The flight of 65.6km has been ratified as a GB record.
She competed in Austria, France, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain and came second woman in the Iberian Cup held in Larouco on the Spain/Portugal border.
In February 2006, again in Australia, she broke the site distance record in Killarney Australia with a flight of 103km. An accident later that month put her out of action for the rest of the summer. But after time out to recover, she returned to competitive flying in September 2006 and competed at the British Open in Àger, Spain. She won the women’s competition, taking the top spot on the podium.
