Great video and audio work! So many other HG vids tend to keep the pilot in the viewfield most of the time. That gives us a view of the pilot when what we want is a pilot's view. With this video I really felt like I was up there flying like a bird and seeing what a bird would see. Also, nice not to have some kind of music, but just the sounds of the wind and the vario...more natural, more real.
@@Nikiforos59 You're very welcome! I look forward to more like this one. I'm almost beginning to think that HG pilots are a bunch of narcissists, having to keep themselves in the viewfield all the time.
From the USA here, are those the "White cliffs of Dover" under you??? great cam resolution also, the city below you showed crisp and clear.. Just subbed...
Were you flying a single surface? In the shadow your glider’s aspect ratio looked less and also I noticed few electric scooter guys rolling at your ground speed. The coastal wind though! Nice one mate.
Thanks mate that site is one of our club's best coastal site and its good to do on a floater it wil be safer incase you have to do a beach landing, Enjoy your flying 👍👍
Yes definitely if the tide is in and the wind drop the only landing option is the water, you can fly only part of it basically where we take off and you can land on the beach below
Thank you. We quite often watch you chaps as we walk along the undercliff between Saltdean and Ovingdean.
Cool place to fly , nice flight 👌
so many awesome coastal sites over there, cant wait to go explore them
I love revisiting this video. Amazing flight.

Not quite, these cliffs are on the South Coast of UK beautiful part as you can see on the video,
@@Nikiforos59 👍👍👍
Yes they are .
Fun to fallow in Google maps
By the end when you turned the camera around I saw it that it’s an SS.

Nice flight. Is the tidal range an issue before attempting this flight?
Yes definitely if the tide is in and the wind drop the only landing option is the water, you can fly only part of it basically where we take off and you can land on the beach below
Kdo you have insurance for this type of flying?
Hi ,as all hang glider pilots must be a member of BHPA in the UK yes we a are only insured for third party.
