"either I get up or I land in the valley for beer and ice cream... either way I'm winning." I represent that remark.
Haha true eh
It's amazing to come back to paragliding after thirty years to find people doing what we back then called "migration" as an idea!
I'm looking forward to my first successful migration!
Great to watch your video and great to hear your in flight decision making. A pleasure to watch. Best wishes.
the work put into editing and stitching your footage into a narrative is commendable. thanks for the great content
Ah thanks very much mate!
"Pointy one that's in the sun" - perfectly distils everything you need to know about XC paragliding 😃
haha exactly! Over the pointy stuff, under the fluffy stuff and point it for goal! 😎
I've been flying paragliders for just over two years and finally got bit by the XC bug! Your videos are by far my favorite because of your out loud decision making and strategies. I learn so much from your videos and can't wait to fly big XC missions like this! I even watch these while on the stair machine at the gym because they hype me up! Cheers!
That’s epic!! Thanks mate! Send it! 🤘🤘
13:49 Aw mate, the light on that slope is magical! What a view. A know of a few landscape photographers who'd pay good money to be there with you.
Pretty memorable experience that one!
Chur for another awesome video Ben
No problem! Thanks for watching!!
love it when you try to pronounce the swiss town names... but nice line you took. I know the area well, and it is always epic to see it from another perspective
Awesome adventure man. Love your edit. Very relaxing and inspiring to watch😊
Thanks mate!!
Fun to see my own twin brother move to Queenstown and take up sailplanes, while I go the other way and go with Run/hike Fly after a thirty year break (yes, that really is possible!). Wonder whether he or I gets the most bang for their buck 😊. Great videos , thanks for the motivation mate!
Sounds awesome!!
You just keep on giving. Thank you
that the Lindt chocolate is presented from a white girl is a real miracle :-)
🤣
@@BenjaminKellett nice Trip man✌️😁
What a cool edit of what looks like a great trip. Super inspiring! I particularly like the transitions where you 'swipe' into the GPS tracklog - very neat :)
Awesome thanks mate! Glad it doesn't go unnoticed! 😁
Good video as usual. Keep going. Greeting from Italy
Thanks mate!! 🤘
congrats... resilient and focused
😁
Great couple of videos thanks and as others say, great edit. Well done and keep it up 👍
Excellent couple of videos of your adventure. What a trip.
Thanks!! Looking forward to the next one!
Really nice, well done, mate!
Thanks!!
Great Video! Maybe you could once come to Melchsee Frutt. Also in the swiss alps and beautiful landscape there.
Greetings from Switzerland
Another work day with a smoko to look forward to. Thanks Ben, looks like a great mission
That vario tone at 6:10 was hard to watch. Like watching one of your mates hit on your auntie, and she is into it.
😂😂😂 crack up, thanks mate!!
Great trip and video Ben! Like when you explain your decisions (especially when it doesn't work out). Helps us Fledglings. Thanks, Katja
Awesome!! Thanks very much!! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is awesome! Enjoying watching you doing such a nice advanture in my neighbourhood.
And if you are still wondering about Chur: pronounce it like you would say "cool" but with a "r" instead a "l" at the end 🙂
Awesome! Thanks mate! Yeah Chur is a bit of a slang word in NZ so funny to see an actual town called the same 😅 thank you!
Was fun to plot your path on an XC planner while watching the video.
Awesome!!
That intro is epic af tho!
On my bivi journey from france to austria, I flew that southside you choose not to fly :D crossed chur and flew straight to austria
keep up the good work, really enjoying those vids.
Amazing!! Awesome spot to fly eh!
I like watching all the good and bad during any adventure. Fantastic edit! Looking forward to future videos
Cheers mate!!
Brilliant stuff Benjamin,certainly inspiring and educational on a wild winter evening in west of Ireland…great video production/editing and lots to learn…pointy one in the sun! Perfect description 😊look forward to catch up on more of you videos which I have just discovered 🤙
Amazing thanks very much! That’s it, over the pointy stuff under the fluffy stuff! 😎
Nice work dude
Cheers mate!
This was an amazing adventure in a stunning landscape, skillfully undertaken, beautifully filmed.
You deserve way more than your current 5K subscribers.
Thank you so much for posting.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the kind words!! 😁
Man, you nearly have flown over my house 🤩 (some few km north of what you call "Tschöör", which would be Chur and is actually pronounced [ˈxuːr]) ...
Next time, come down and I will brew you a nice coffee and will provide you with as much salt as you need.
Hahaha cool!!
another great experience to watch. Maybe not so much for the pilot but its interesting to see what happens when its not easy.
Gotta share the good with the bad eh!
this is mindblowing!!
Keep doing them... Love your editing, makes a coherent story out of a multitude of short videos. Glad you came and did videos in the 'Northern Alps :-)' because I could relate with the terrain and so connect with your adventure, in a way that my unfamiliarity with the Southern Alps was not make it possible in your previous videos...
Great! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Cool editing and Epic adventure. Keep it UP 👌
Thanks!! 😎
Another great video Ben, love your content and speak regularly to local pilots about your videos. A topic came up amongst us about safe mounting of video equipment particularly your 360 cam - could you possibly do a short video of exactly how you mount these and the risks involved like take off and landing procedures while using cameras, basically your thoughts and experience for filming while flying?
Yeah, I will it's been firmly on my to do list for way too long now. But in short, I mount the 360 on the carabiner with a clamp, I don't recommend it as it can easily get caught on lines on take off. I've had it wrapped around brake lines before, if it's super windy its dangerous.
@@BenjaminKellett yea sweet that's pretty much along the same train of thought we were having, it's a gap in the market but we can't seem to come up with a better alternative 🤔 still would be keen to see a video of yours with battery life storage capacity etc etc. Cheers for the reply dude happy flying
Awesome footage/flights.. good editing.. keep them coming.. 🤟
Thanks very much!! Will do!
Great Adventure, enjoyed watching your volbiv trip 👍
Thanks mate!! 😁
great! can't wait for the next vol biv :)
Thanks mate! Me too!
Awesome as always. I am not as experienced paraglider as you, so I do not fly in such big mountains, but I am enjoying to watch it and hoping that some day I will fly there myself. So lets cook some mash potato :-D :-D
Hahaha awesome! It's delicious when you're starving 🤣
Your adventures are a huge inspiration! Planning a volbiv for next year with some friends. Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽
Amazing! Thanks mate!
Cracking stuff 👍🏻 Would you mind pinging me the tracklog for day 3 please? Ta muchly!
Thanks mate! Will do!

What an incredible adventure! Hopefully next year it will be my turn too. Thank you for the videos and the tips they contain.
Ah thanks very much! Good luck!!
very good
All in all an amazing voyage! 🙂
I would have wished you better luck with the flights on the first and fourth day, but the third day was really impressive! 😮😊👍
Thanks very much!!
Start carrying MRE's to eat. Probably heavier than what you carry, but they also have a lot more calories .You can go to one meal a day. If you can find the actual military version they also have hot sauce
Ooo they sound good!
Epic
😎
WICKED 💙 💙

Day 3 an epic blue day. Well done.
At what altitude do you start thinking (or forgetting) about hypoxia?
Not until over 15,000 ft really
Awesome man. Been looking forward to this video. We have a few p3's in the states and would love to do a "guided" vol Biv. Is that a thing?
i think „kinga masztalerz“ is doing that in new zealand if im not mistaken.
Yeah she is!!
Great
Hi Ben! Great video! - Have the 32 liter of space in the rear trunk of the BV2 been large enough for all your stuff, or did you also have to remove the protector? How much liter of additional material (without glider and harness) did you take with you?
Are you flying generally in very light winds, I ask from you changing from South, West slopes with no worry of Lee. Newbie asking..
Yeah it was mostly light wind's but depending on your experience level some lee side actually has good thermals as long as it's not too strong. It's more turbulent so need to approach with caution!
❤❤❤❤
🙌🙌
Another great video Ben! What month did you do this trip in please?
Thanks mate! It was in July this year
