Well done on this task!Enjoyed Volare especially. And Delilah. I guess one could say that makes you a black and orange spotted warbler now. Darren, I love your videos. I’m itching to fly those sublime English hills. Could you point me toward a site that would clue in an aging but still game yank pilot (first flew HG in’73) who wants to fly there next summer? I won’t have a glider so will need to rent. And possibly get certified there, so how might I get all that sorted before I come over?
Renting in the UK may be a problem - but you could probably find someone who will rent you a glider. The best place to come to is the Hope Valley in the Peak District. There are hills close together that take many different directions. As for getting certified - Steve Hudson works in that area. Peak Airsports I think.
Hi Darren could you please give information on which is the best countries in Europe for hanggliding in relation to being plenty of site easy location access H1,H2,H3, always possible to do cross country, etc HG friendly, costs cheaper, Easy to settle in the country etc. other then UK and Spain .please which other European countries. Thanks
@@MooSurfer how about I Italy and which region North, North east , upper central or near mount cucco. Which is cheaper for hanggliding-:-Italy, Spain or France. Thanks 🙏
Hi Darren. Well done with the videos. Just a bit of feedback from a friend, who has also started a youtube channel. I look forward to your feedback. You could do with a better sound system? Mike closer? Noise cancelling? The wind is obviously present, or you're falling out of the sky. I get that, but the sound could do with improving. Also, what about trying to educate your audience? How to thermal? What's the vario telling you as you thermal? Great work, I've binge watched hours ;-)
Thanks Vince... so sound - I have experimented previously with: different sound recording, noise cancelling software, different mufflers and so on. All these things made it worse. And for a lot of effort. There IS a new 360 camera with a really good mic that makes the sound REALLY clear. But... over £600 for the system is more than I'm willing to pay. Unless... you want to buy me one? ;-) I don't exactly make much from this and it's about effort/cost vs reward. And I have been told SO many times how great the sound is compared to other videos. Sometimes it gets worse if I accidentally knock the muffler when fiddling with the camera, but generally it's ok. Your other ideas - nice ideas. I HAVE done some of that before, including how to thermal and I have a video waiting to go live about the vario. But it could do with an update and more videos on this... nice ideas and THANK YOU for all your support!
I watch your videos because you singing high up, puts a big smile on my face! That attitude on such altitude is life affirming.
Thank you so much! Living life to the max!
Your videos are just as entertaining as Wolfi's.
I enjoy each one!
Thanks!!
Can you tell me Wolfi's channel name please?

Really enjoyed that Darren. I prefer your videos to wolfie. You definitely seem to be dialling into the new glider.
Cheers mate - I'm slowly getting there with it.
@@MooSurfer I'm definitely noticing more beeps than tones with the new wing.
I've edited the low tones out 😉

I don't need to jinx it... I can mess up either way!!
Don't quit your day job!!!
