Awesome! Thanks fo this, great views, great journey & great music. It looks so different from that angle & the only downside is to see the scarring of the paths al of the way up to the summit!
i bet you that the guy above did never fly a paramotor. Your flight was amazing, beautiful. Thank you for share yours flights whith us, the real flyers.
That was one of the most beautiful videos on this site. I was lucky enough to get some good weather views of Ben Nevis while driving from Edinburgh to Skye during a trip from the States but I could never dream of getting the views you did. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for your future vids! Sláinte from Boston!
Wow what a great flight. You did better than me - a few years ago I tried flying to the top of Ben Nevis in a powered hang glider, taking off from the same area. But I crashed on takeoff and bent some metal.
Sometimes when I see you guys droning overhead I wish I had brought my blunderbuss, or better still a giant laser, to bring you down, Icarus-like, over the Carn Mor Dearg Arete.... but.... this is magnificent footage - have to congratulate you and please do more mountains if you get the chance. It also seems to me to be very brave to fly these things, what with sundry crags, winds, technical snags, angry birds and blunderbusses to deal with.
Stu - that was a brilliant flight. I've never been to UK but I have ancestors buried in the Highlands somewhere ! I guess you've moved on to better tech now - you're fidgeting with this and that the whole flight. Hope you got some nice pans for the folks to look at.
actually what your seeing is just me taking photos - I as madly shooting photos with the SLR the whole flight. you can see those here www.flickr.com/photos/powerlord/albums
I want you to fly LOWER so we can see the terrain ,foot paths and the like .l climbed Ben Nevis in 1963 as a 20 yo then at 21 yo I moved to Australia , i visited scotland again in 1981 and uk in 2004 not been back since I WILL die in Australia. In the future i,m 74 now so bit late for me to fly now. Great video ,take care.
+whitey george u need to get a better tv George - full screen at 4k and you'll see every footprint up to the summit (and some stupid people going right next to the edge)
Congratulation man wonderfull Video, music and scinery very apropiate I just wondering how do you made the compas and all the references you've got on the left hand side of teh Video, I guess it is made with your Iphone, could you giveme some advices please Many Thank's Sorry about my English, I Just traying my best
whats the datalagger software you've got there ?, alike eagletree ??, I think it's becoming the common theme. I'd like to know so we can share simular fetching backdrops of inspiring England. Thanks for the astonishingly calming views and music to match.
Hi man! Great vid,planning to start paramotor this spring. What a wonderful scenery! Can you tell me how you did The google earth-ish overlay,left bottom? Thnx so much!
Well done Stu, love the graphics (Garmin of some kind?). I have climbed Big Ben, would love the chance to fly it. Motor sounds sweet, whats your gear, camera, nav ? Thanks for a great vid
@mongooseamp not sure. I think possibly, but not with video and photo evidence! - talking of which - September issue of 'Trail' magazine should have one of my pictures in it :-)
i wish i had the money to buy one. but all my money gos to the hire of c172 aircraft . but it looks so good fly when you want as long as the wind it light . and take it with you in the back of your car you must have good trim on it to fly hands off
I dont know why you went for an altitude record WE WANT TO SEE THE CLIFFS AND THE TERRAIN. Still overall a nice video.I Like Eine Kleine Nackte music tho.
+whitey george that was summer flying. Lots of people about. 500 feet rule applies. Once I got up I went higher true, but if you want a look at the paths have a look at my stills - flickr.com/photos/29497408@N00/sets/72157680025360654
Brilliant! I did Ben Nevis last year ( walking) and I had a paramotor for a couple of years, so I can really appreciate this video. 1st class!
I'm off to Portugal to learn this in February.
You just gave me more inspiration....thanks!
This one of the best paramotor videos on youtube. and i have seen 100,s bloody well done.
Never heard of a paramotor before, now I want one. Excellent video.
Awesome! Thanks fo this, great views, great journey & great music. It looks so different from that angle & the only downside is to see the scarring of the paths al of the way up to the summit!

Got to hand it to the oldies at the end....worried sick!....
Good show bud!
Well done mate - a beautiful day, fantastic looking and well planned flight and nice piece of video editing.
Wow what a great flight.
You did better than me - a few years ago I tried flying to the top of Ben Nevis in a powered hang glider, taking off from the same area. But I crashed on takeoff and bent some metal.

Incredible. I was bricking it just watching it. Would love to do but know my nerves wouldnt stand it. Great.
I like paramotor , but I would be afraid if at such heights
Superb video Stu, the very best PPG video I have seen.
Cheers, Alan
Nice done- everything well controlled
Wow amazing mate. maybe do that trip again with narrative
Stu - that was a brilliant flight. I've never been to UK but I have ancestors buried in the Highlands somewhere !

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.
it´s the highest mountain in the UK. The weather seldom allows this sort of flight. What´s special ? well the scenery was amazing!

Sorry about my English, I Just traying my best
Yup. Bloody telemarketing call ! I told them I couldn't really speak as flying over Ben Nevis !
Excellent vid! I really enjoyed it. Thanks.
I have watched hundreds of video's and this by far is the most incredible one yet. Awesome. Where is this area at?
I was scared all the time, Thanks for great video :)
whats the datalagger software you've got there ?, alike eagletree ??, I think it's becoming the common theme.
I'd like to know so we can share simular fetching backdrops of inspiring England.
Thanks for the astonishingly calming views and music to match.

Thanks for a great vid
Completely inspiring. What does someone have to go through to be allowed to do this? Looks more than a bit tricky.
@carvingair yup, thats the one. I just rendered it out solid, then combined it in FCP.
amazing ...
Fantastic Vid mate!!!! How did you manage to combine the vid, alti, speed and track?????
@mongooseamp not sure. I think possibly, but not with video and photo evidence! - talking of which - September issue of 'Trail' magazine should have one of my pictures in it :-)
Hi Stu
I second that emotion :-) ... simply awsome mate!
Turbo
PS: did someone cal you on the phone 20 mins into the vid?
Awesome. i hate planes but this looks good.
i wish i had the money to buy one. but all my money gos to the hire of c172 aircraft . but it looks so good fly when you want as long as the wind it light . and take it with you in the back of your car you must have good trim on it to fly hands off
Whats so special about this, looks amazing but what is so special about this particular flight?
