Thanks Ian :) Was about 7 of you up there right? I wonder if anyone else got a shot. Thanks again, was funny seeing some people already on the summit from above :) All the best Ian.

Sam Laming there was 4 of us just in front of the summit and a few others about . I'm on the edge 40sec in trying to get my head around what I was seeing 🤣

Thought I'd found a short start WS exit the other side of the Valley then see you've opened it as a SD jump! Hope you're well man? Would be good to get some adventure running together again. Loved jumping with you in Italy =) All the best Josh.

You might be interested in doing similar in Scotland. Been looking at munro s and a site called canmore(with detailed contour mapping on search map facility).potential up there. Just a ground based dreamer at present.

There's plenty that could be done with Helis up there, maybe even one Wingsuit jump there. I've been watching the weather up there hoping to do something but it's even rarer than Snowdon to get suitable flying weather there. Maybe next Summer =)

Nice to see someone do it. I've been waiting years for someone to fly past Snowdon. I was going to suggest it to Jokke, as I mostly see Switzerland and Norway etc, maybe Mont Blanc, on wingsuit videos. If it wasn't for the British Victorians hiking the world's summits, humans may not have had such a love affair with the mountains and when Edmund Hillary climbed Everest, he trained in Snowdonia. Snowdon, to me, seemed the obvious choice to fly past in the ultimate of sports being the birth place of interest in mountain pursuits. It would have been good to see some fly past footage filmed from the summit - maybe someone took some and can share it. If you do this again, I'm wondering if you can fly down the valley to Llanberis following the Llanberis path, especially as you could get footage of the train coming up, while you are flying down - and this is the most used path, so more people will notice you and share!

Cheers! I think Mountains are always going to be amazing places regardless of who's done what and where, and if people know or not about such - Someone in Switzerland never hearing of the British Victorians is probably still going to find the Eiger amazing :) Sadly I don't have any video from the summit. There's some photos on my Instagram (samlamingwingsuit) but only one video from the mountain sadly, though even there we're tiny little dots in it due to the distance. What you mentioned sadly wouldn't work - The terrain is much too flat, that's why the summit was such a nice point - We could fly close, then the terrain dropping away so suddenly gives us altitude to pull our canopies. Our Wingsuits fly near a 1/3 glide ratio and we want around 1000ft to open our canopies. Ben Nevis could be nice though ;)
