Thanks Chris for replying. I can run but my knees are starting to hurt. I've got a paramorta experience day with northern Skies booked after watching your video
digs.awsome.squeaking (what three words), or 57.58555N, -2.775745W Maybe get in touch with Donnie and Irene Carson (hangies), but i doubt anyone's flown there for a long time. it's quite soarable in WSW through NW, NNE and the easterly quadrant. Can be quite thermic in summer, with sbf's coming in from the N Moray coast and epic convergence to Peterhead occasionally. There used to be a shepherd on the farm there who bred what were possibly the world's best collie sheepdogs.
Hopefully you'll get further afield as experience grows. It can seem almost (and occasionally actually is) painfully slow progress due to the weather up there, but it's well worth it. I guess Tap o' Noth is more local?
Ha ha ha Brian, it all started with me. One time as a total newbie (on my own) my wind sock blew down whilst I was away flying. Although I had been trained to suss out the wind direction without the use of windicators, I was still mega nervous coming in to land. So.... my thinking was, if there's 2 of us putting up socks at least 1 would be remaining for conclusive indication of wind direction. Well, it kind of escalated into a kind of rule that anyone who turns up to fly puts up a wind sock!! 🤪
@@chrisstevenson1 ... What you need to do is ''take the windsock with you' 😬 ... (see my 'Oops I've Done it Again video 😆) ... Now if only I could figure a way of 'planting' it before landing 🤔
@@chrisstevenson1 🤩 ... sound like a plan to me ... next time we're on hols up there, I'll see if we can organise to stay somewhere nearby with our motor home 😉
nice one !
Looks like you guys had a much smoother flight than I did. Nice video.
Like it……
Looks amazing
love the look of that place
Nice place to sit & chill (get pished) 🍹🍾🍷
Brilliant !! Hope you could handle the power on that thing!
@@MidFlightCrisis I didn't dare go full throttle!
@ jeez! I can imagine!!!!
Make it fly! 😂
No casualties!!! Great landings by all
He’s back !!!!!
PS: ... Chris ... you're going to have to have a 'stern word' with those other two ! ... four pilots and only TWO windsocks 🤪
I won't be having any stern words Brian.......... One of them was ME!!!! 🙈
@@chrisstevenson1 - Its a Brian thing ! - The other was me !!!! @BrianTurbo - you're absolutely right !
Luvly Jubbly 😀 ... Haddaway is it ... taking be back to sounds of my youth 😆
💯💃🕺

That's brilliant, you will absolutely love it ❤. They will certainly look after you, down in Yorkshire beside Leeds I think.
@chrisstevenson1 yes a good 90min drive from me but come recommended whereabouts do you fly from
@@geoffreytomlinson6702 Not so far for you to travel to, I hear good reports about Rik, top guy. I fly N.E. Scotland. Peterhead area.
Cracking evening flight - great fun had by all.......... ✌🤙💪👍
👌
Nice video do you think I'm too old at 58 to get into paramotoring
Thanks Geoffrey. As long as you can run you'll be fine. A few guys in our group are over 60. 💪
Outstanding launch……..
Fancy footwork 🤣
Excellent takeoff in challenging conditions......
You did too MidFlight 💪lol. Was actually very smooth above 1,000 Ft 😇
.... 25 mph!
Luvly Jubbly 👍😍. And, "great job", in managing to 'seamlessly' extend one of my favourite Who tracks 😎
Ha ha ha Turbo, you noticed lol 🤗
Wooosh, straight up in that wind - nice one as usual Chris..........
Bumpy but still fun. Crystal clear day so worth it for the views 🙃
Luvly Jubbly 😀 And THAT looks like a 'cracking' take-off field 👌
It's absolutely stunning Brian mate, a thrill to take off & land each time. 🙏
@@chrisstevenson1 ... I'm thinking of moving house ... to Peterhead lol 😆
Outstanding.
Thanks Midflight, shame you couldn't make it 😕
@@chrisstevenson1 gutted I couldn’t make it. Car fixed, normal service has resumed!
Luvly Jubbly 🤩 ... love beaches. Some great choices in your video soundtracks Chris ... classic & timeless songs 😎
Thanks Brian mate, we are so lucky here with our beaches...... but always empty! 😕
✌🤙🤜
Great video Chris! - And thanks for filming my landing, it was cool to see! ❤
Bonny wing that 👌
Good to see Justin, do 'a Justin' on take off !!!!! - Great landing Graeme !

Never been that far as yet. 🙏

@@jesflynn4048 it's not, we're really Peterhead area.
Seems ok. Do you ever fly Knock Hill these days?
Hi Jes, not sure where that is?
Bumpy as hell, but great to get up…..
Perfecto take off & landing 🥳
Been there lol 🙃
🤣😅🤣
Luvly Jubbly 😎
I wonder if you could make a 'fully working vehicle' out of all those 'bits' laying around at 3 mins 🤔 ...
HA HA !!!!! - Brilliant. Looks like none of you even had to run to get in the air !!!!!!
One step then up up & away. Good fun 🥳
Beautiful melody music and view video. Paragliding is awesome.
Thank you 🙏
I was waving furiously when you flew over me…… outstanding
Crackin job Chris 👏👏👌
Luvly Jubbly 😎 ... You can never have enough windsocks Chris 😉

@@BrianTurboT Yes Brian, I watched that video ages ago. I was really impressed you know 💯👌
Great flight - perfect conditions and great scenery
Glad you could join me, always fun to fly with you 👌
4 took off, 4 came back !!! - Result !!!!
Pretty hypnotic at low level, flight never gets boring does it. Great choice of music too.
Thanks, flying is always exciting lol 😇
Looking good Chris- arms out lean back!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time Midflight, seems to work 💪
Luvly Jubbly 👍 Nice bit of coast ... but where?
Hi Brian, NE Scotland near Peterhead. It's beautiful flying the coast here. Come join us? 🙏
@@chrisstevenson1 🤩 ... sound like a plan to me ... next time we're on hols up there, I'll see if we can organise to stay somewhere nearby with our motor home 😉
@@BrianTurboT You will be most welcome mate. Good to see new faces 🙏
Whereabouts is this Chris? Cant see any of the usual landmarks.
Hiya Mark, around N.E. Scotland. Where you from mate?
@@chrisstevenson1 Hi Chris. I'm from Peternapper bud
It's mostly Rora area Mark.
@@chrisstevenson1 Cheers Chris. That quarry threw me
@@markrobertson9988 Yes me too!! I just stumbled upon it on my travels, 1st time I've seen it 😇
this mountain looks like a lying dragon
Lovely views.
Thank you, early morning flight, real smooth.
When are you boys coming up to Scotland for a flight (party) ? 🥳
Nice one............
Nice one……
😢 hurry up E-Props!
Ha ha ha MidFight. Yes hurry up.. That was a 0630 quick flight before breakfast. Mega smoooth bud. 👌
@@chrisstevenson1 looked it my man! Sigh!!!!!!
What a great flight. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Barry 🙏
Nice one. I should’ve been right behind you…………😢
You will be with us next time for sure 🚀
Cheeky flight there Chris, nice one!!!
Yes MidFlight mate, seen a weather window so thought a quick pre-breakfast blast was appropriate 🤗
@@chrisstevenson1 good man
Great evening - great flights, great company
Another awesome video, thank You! What a view, countryside, animals playing....
Thanks Jon, relaxing late evening flight 👍
