You can really see how much experience it takes to fly in these mountains ... A labyrnth of valleys and passes :D . Makes me appreciate the valley wind map you can easily find nowadays and studying it like a bible. Mapped out the rough path. 82km. Challenging.

Yeah it can be, takes a bit of experience to go out and figure it out by yourself. Sticking to known sites with a good briefing from experience local pilots is a good start!

@@BenjaminKellett unfortunately the weather in the 'berg is not very consistent in terms of flying. That said it is an awesome spot when it does work. Here is a short vid from an overnight vol-biv last year in the low lands (i.e. off the main escarpment) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jp9xZJOQ07nWfps.html and there is a vid on my channel (my only vid 😅) of flying along the escarpment of the southern 'berg if you're interested.

I've been following and watching your content for a little over a year now, I loved this video! I flew this summer in Interlaken and I'm going back to Flims this winter can't wait! Swiss landscape and views are so addictively stunning! Question, sorry if you've answered this already, but what earbuds are you sporting when I see you hiking?

@BenjaminKellett Жыл бұрын

Ah thanks very much mate! Yeah what a place to fly eh? I have the Sony WI-C100, they're fine. I like having the wired Bluetooth ones because I can tie them around my neck so I don't loose them whilst flying!

@JauLingChou Жыл бұрын

@@BenjaminKellett yes, I completely agree. Companies have abandoned tethered Bluetooth earbuds, which is a shame. I have a pair of Tarah Pro's that I love but are slowly falling apart, and looking at alternatives. I absolutely never use them flying, but always have them on when biking and paddling. Can sometimes see them pop up on Ebay. Thanks!

Awesome flights! I was flying in Fiesch about a month ago, to the Grimsel pass and back. The grimsel is known to be flooded by the valley wind from the other valley, which is why I turned just before that. I am relieved to see that you noticed it really early and made the right decision to switch sides! Did you just notice it in flight or were you aware of it beforehand?

@BenjaminKellett Жыл бұрын

Ah I could feel the wind pushing me so I switched! If I was to do this again I would swap to the south side much earlier, I think if I did this I could’ve connected with the higher clouds more to the south! Next time!!

@samuelkaelin Жыл бұрын

@@BenjaminKellett Impressive, I probably would have had much longer to make that decision... But sounds like you had fun, did you have the chance to see the Aletsch Glacier or is that also for next time (or would it potentially spoil the next video, so you dont have to reply ^^)

Thanks mate! I have the ML, with all the gear I sit about 103-105 depending on how much food/water I have. This is right at the top which means without the gear I can still fly it, nearer the bottom of the range. I actually find the handling is still super nice even at the lower end of the range!

is it hard to land (especially top landing) with all those extra kilos?

@BenjaminKellett 9 ай бұрын

Yeah it's harder than when you have not kit, the glider is flying faster and with the extra weight on you back the landing is harder. Easier to roll an ankle etc
