I made it over to Interlaken in Switzerland and with in 24 hours I managed to get around 80km of sightseeing in. I have very little knowledge of the area so the guided tour from Peter at Bumblebee Hang gliding was warmly welcomed. The flight was relatively easy with wide spread lift despite little sun getting through. I’m looking forward to seeing some more of these peaks over the next few weeks. Hopefully I can bring you a few more videos over the summer.
Thanks loads to Bumblebee Tandem Hang Gliding for getting me up the hill and Peter for showing me around. If you’re in the area and want to have a go at hang gliding hit me up or hit Bumblebee up

Nice flight in an epic scenery... I am a bit scared of flying next to this big lakes with less landing places, but if the air is so active - looks like a nice day - well spent!

@petehelliwell 2 года назад

I didn’t know how limited the landing options were until about three days after the flight 😬

@aurelg3367 Год назад

Hahaha having a guide does really help

Brilliant I echo. No radio coms between you and guide? Guess it's more exciting to blindly follow. Like anyone would need more excitement you absolute animal 😎😉💓

@petehelliwell 2 года назад

No radio coms, just lots of shouting and frantically waving 😅. The plus side of doing it this way is that the batteries never go flat 🤓 (although line of sight is relied on more)

@aurelg3367 Год назад

Beautiful flight for such a cloudy day, it'd be so hard to do that with a paraglider. It almost makes me regret flying paragliders instead of hanggliding 😄 except I forgot I'm at work with a small bag waiting for me to be done 🪂🪂

@petehelliwell Год назад

No regrets needed, they both have their own perks. Sure i enjoy flying hang gliders more but my paraglider is much more convenient. If you can learn to fly both I’d highly recommend it 🙂

@FlyingFelix1 2 года назад

Awesome! I’ve only been there once for test flying a wing I got for the Worlds in 2019, but was amazed with the place, and my short-ish flights weren’t anywhere near this nice tour you got there! Awesome flying and edit 👏 I’ve got to return there, I see Beau is back there enjoying yet another summer in paradise 👍

@BariFPV 2 года назад

This was brilliant. Except for that one time where it hit choppy most of the time the air mass seemed pretty smooth. I flew the tail end of a front 2 days ago and boy was it nasty. It had some residual effect that even yesterday it was causing all sorts of lifted wing and kick outs.

@sanderdelta 2 года назад

Great flight, thanks for sharing. Which 360 camera do you use and how do you get your voice so bright without wind noice ?

@petehelliwell 2 года назад

Cheers, it was a pretty cool flight, totally unexpected. I’m using the Insta360 one x2 and a Rode Lavalier GO external mic

@sanderdelta 2 года назад

@@petehelliwell That microphone is a professional one. Where do you have it mounted, right next to the insta360 or at the downtube or ... ?

@petehelliwell 2 года назад

@@sanderdelta It is a good one yes, definitely worth the money. I have it on my tshirt underneath my flying top. The extension wire for it to reach the camera is permanently routed up the down tube (or is should that be down the upright?)

@sanderdelta 2 года назад

@@petehelliwell Is it al wire? not wireless? since Rode also got very good wireless equipment. What is the route of the wire, through the upright to the top and then through the hangloop down?

@petehelliwell 2 года назад

@@sanderdelta yes that’s the route exactly. With a few connectors in between so it’s easy to take the harness off etc. I did think about going wireless but I was put off by the split second delay in the audio, Bluetooth connectivity issues and the extra items to charge

@Koan_Om 2 года назад

beautiful views, why speed up?

@petehelliwell 2 года назад

Your right, the views are stunning. The speed up (or hyper lapse) gives a better idea of the distance, direction and what is actually happening . A bit like a time lapse of the clouds or the stars, you could watch it for an hour and barely see it change or reduce the hour to a few seconds and see exactly what happened 🙂. If i edited the video without the hyper lapse it would of been about four hours long with lots of boring bits in it.

@Vl7248 2 года назад

I didn’t see a lot of LZs as you ran the ridge next to the lake. Where’re they bailouts?

@petehelliwell 2 года назад

Unbeknown to me at the time but yeah, the landings are apparently very limited along the lakes. I found out a few days later 😬

@carlosleon7683 2 года назад

Epic flight, mate. Well done! When flying along the ridge I noticed that you were not so close but rather 50-100m away from it. Isn't the lift normally coming off the tips of the mountains? Thanks!

@petehelliwell 2 года назад

Yeah the lift a bit closer in could probably be a bit stronger but probably not as smooth. Also remember that these are big mountains and the whole airmass along their face is going up due to the heat and instability. And although there is a big ridge along the side there is still a lot of following the clouds and sometimes those clouds are further out in front. It is different to ridge soaring on smaller hills when the rising air is ‘mechanical’ lift caused by the prevailing wind.

@carlosleon7683 2 года назад

@@petehelliwell Right on. Thanks for the enlightenment, man. I appreciate it.

@Logical855 Год назад

I saw a lot of rotation(360) in one spot when you were gliding? Were u doing that on purpose or was a wind or something?

@mathematicromancio Год назад

It's done on purpose in thermal area (where air rises due to heat) to gain height. It's used by birds as well to gain height with less effort possible (reason why they do thousands of miles flying pretty easily).

@guido.demedici Год назад

Did u have any problems with your glider on the commercial plane or did u have to extra airmail it by special cargo? I usually end up having endless discussions with the airlines about oversize cargo. Last trip to Pakistan was a logistical nightmare regarding the glider.

@petehelliwell Год назад

I’ve never put a hang glider on the plane. It’s more favourable to own gliders in different countries when ever possible. Yes it’s more expensive until you have a glider written off by the airline and then you are buying another glider anyway..

Nobody is interested i watching videos that are distorted totally out of any recognizable proportions. Please film your flying so that your glider and the ground look the way they really do.
