From Mountains to Flats | Technical 125km Paragliding XC Explained

- This was a 110km declared goal that I ended up overflying, it was a tricky flight that required a few low saves and flying some particularly turbulent lee side conditions early on. I do my best to explain my decision making process throughout the journey.
I've never made it this far east from Coronet Peak (New Zealand) before and in the end was a little disorientated, I'd love to give it another go and see if it's possible to make the coast!
Here's the track log:

For what it’s worth to you, I’m an aspiring xc pilot that just got my lic this year. I’ve been watching so many videos an your videos has been the most informative with respect to how the weather works with clouds, wind and thermals ect.
I’ve learned a lot.
Thank you.
The additional graphics are cool. These vids just get more slick every time. The commentary is great.
Thanks mate!!
Love your videos! My 5 year old grandson and I watch them together. Great flying, editing, and commentary!
That’s awesome!! Thanks very much!!
5 min mark. Tinny bastard or massive skill? Maybe a mix, a very close call. Bugger landing at that point! Top vid Benjamin.
Haha yeah was pretty rough!!

Nice one Ben, cinematography, editing, sound, scenery, simply great, just as we're accustomed to expect from you. The clear and sincere narrative of your thought processes, decisions, etc, doesn't just add to understanding and learning but takes the videos to another level. Thank you
Very kind mate thanks very much!! 🙏
That’s one of the best Xc vids I’ve seen. Seeing the cloud shadows move on hyperlapse, and watching you use the wind and terrain was brilliant. Great channel

I had friends camping at Kyeburn at new year, With two young kids we decided not to go visit for the day, I should have taken a leaf out of your book and flow over for a few beers.
Was great having a yarn on the way up to the gondy launch the other day.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate! Awesome! 😀
Nice. Hitching from there is a nightmare.
Yeah took a while but got one all the way to Cromwell after waiting a few hours! Just as it started raining 😅
I enjoyed your flight
Cool thanks!
Great adventure !
Cheers mate!
Awesome video ones again. The animations keep getting better and better, i love these little paragliders on the map.
You did a good job at flying and explaining things!

Hello Mr Kellet
Is April and May are still generally good time to fly in your area, plan to be in New Zealand next year ? Hervé (French)
Ahhh it will be stable, May is one of the worst months for flying here, maybe June is worse... It is flyable but the days are very short.
Hello Ben , great content. How many hours did you fly your zeolite before you trimmed it? Was there a substantial difference after trim?
Ahhh I put 200 hours and it was 20mm out from inner A to outer B
Hi Benjiamin, nice videos, the audio is so clean, where do you keep the MIC? and which one do you use? Thanks
Thanks mate, it’s a Rode Lapel Mic. I have it plugged into the GoPro via the official mic adapter.
@@BenjaminKellett Thanks Benjiamin, you have an open helmet, do you keep the mic under the jacket or somewhere else maybe inside one of those furry windscreen balls?
@@mauriziochina It's just clipped to my chest on the zip with a dead cat on it!
The valley of angry farmers 😂
Hahah yeah Cardrona is bad for it!
