Paramotor adventure over Enderby cliffs & Grindrod BC • HD

Date - 11.02.2022
Duration - 76 minutes
Highest altitude - 3900 ft AGL
Launch time - 3:00 PM
I was trying to find a NIL wind day for this one, since that’s the safest option for flying close to cliff sides. That didn’t work out with the winter air moving in. This was on the last day before the first snow fall. Wind speed at 4000ft was 20 km/h, Reports from Nav canada stated temperature at altitude was around -5 c (watch temp is not accurate, it’s pushing against a heated glove) Rotor was a concern, I got as close as comfortably possible. Closest point was around 80-100ft. I’d like to do this one again on a NIL wind day in the future and get 20ft or so away.
First time trying smaller asymmetric spirals, can’t wait to try some bigger ones
Thoroughly enjoyed this one, beautiful area!

[@cj544]

Thanks! Its the Scuba pro Meridian dive computer, I find the display easier to read then most Suuntos

The RiverTalk printed your photo of Grindrod on the it’s front page. They also had the link’s full URL, ruclips.net/video/0Tb6gHjLeIE/видео.html. But it was a lot easier to go to your RUclips page.
Awesome footage, BTW!
