Good effort, enjoyed that.

it reminded me of when I climbed the Cheviot with a hangglider ! and gave up after 4hours 2/3rds up because I was totally knackered...

Good fun though.

Beautiful video Gordie

Made me feel great just watching it - really captures "that" feeling

Fantastic video.

Really nice flights on Skiddaw both yesterday and today. Today I was able to soar the small cragg which you pass over at 1.05 of the video which was followed by a fabulous 2700ft fly down. First time I've flown that end of Skiddaw. Can believe the number of pilots I saw on Skiddaw today (8 past and present fliers I think), and non of them with their wings!
