Very impressive planning, working out the conditions and flying. Well done.

Great video and fantastic flying. I could feel your frustration not reaching Switzerland as planned in the first attempt but travelling by bus and hitchhiking is part of fun 😆! Great adventure. I need to do something like that too. Well done mate.

[@OllieEllis]

Yeah frustrating but all part of it 😀

[@Murga_Mutton]

Nice adventure, I enjoyed watching this video ! As you might have seen when you said "I should have stayed south of this ridge", in day2, you may have flown into some natural airspace (300m/ground). Not a lot of pilots fly there because of it. Also as a feedback for next video, my personal preference goes to how you edited day 3 compared to day 2, about camera movements (fixed to the landscape is better than fixed to the mount I think, mostly for accelerated parts). Looking forward to your next adventure !

[@OllieEllis]

Thank you for the feedback and for watching! I was experimenting with different camera angles on this trip to see how they’d work out, so it’s good to hear your thoughts on what looked better. I agree, the fixed-to-landscape view does give a cleaner feel for the accelerated parts. And as for that bit near the ridge, appreciate the heads-up- I’ll improve for future flights! Glad you enjoyed it.

Nice flight. When is the flight date? Wasn't it cold when camping on the mountain? Can you sleep warm with a tent and a thin blanket?

[@OllieEllis]

@@seosiappa It was in August this year and no its not cold when camping in August. Maybe in spring or autumn it’s cold.

[@seosiappa]

@OllieEllis thanks. need a sleeping bag, or a thin blanket?

[@OllieEllis]

@ I use a sleeping bag but a blanket may work if you keep you flying clothes on

[@seosiappa]

@@OllieEllis thanks

[@MrTozuyi]

No airspace infringement after Niesen? Anyway, well done!

[@OllieEllis]

No there was not but I did take line which was close to Reichenbach to stay over the raising terrain.

[@matttoal7106]

how do you film the long sections of flying mate? are you swapping batteries out or is it on a time-lapse or what? cheers. decent video!

[@OllieEllis]

I’m using an insta X4 a recording the whole flight in video mode. I have a power bank connected so it’s charging the whole time so no messing. Changing batteries etc.
