That was really enjoyable to see my home town. My little drone will only go up 120m. Just after the first Lockdown I hired a microlight flight over Wiltshire and the Stone Circles. It’s an awesome hobby you have. Cheers
Ha ha that's the only down side did you notice the giant gas line buried underneath?a fair constructional feat I have watched most of your videos keep up the good work .if you are ever up here again I normally fly from Skipton give us a shout👍
Hi Mark, new subscriber here. Really inspired by your videos. One quick question and apologies if you’ve covered this in another video but how do you go about finding places to launch from? Would love to potentially get into the sport but not sure where I’d take off from local to me (near Titchfield where you took off from when you went to the Island of White 😂)
Try and get friendly with your local community and seek out the farmers and buy them a drink in the pub, or just play the numbers game and ask like 10 of them. Most will say no, but one will say yes eventually.
Airliners fly in controlled airspace, and we're not allowed in unless on radio with permission. Other general traffic is see and avoid. There are some devices to detect aircraft that kind of work, but they're not very reliable on a paramotor.
Hopefully I get back to your end of the world one day, when I do, I'll have to look up the regulations surrounding visiting pilots. Flying over something green instead of brown and yellow would be an experience :p
Amazing footage. Brilliantly presented. 👊👊
Liked & subbed 👍
Thanks and welcome
Beautiful.
Ah Mark I wish I knew you were coming this way. I live next to Blackpool!
Just booked for my first lessons 👏🏽🙌🏽
Next time! Glad to hear you are on your way to flying. Stunning area to fly around. 👍
Beautiful flight. I enjoy the chase cam!
Glad you enjoy it! I like it too
Amazing terrain! I wish we had some higher hills around here 🥲 those look amazing!
And then beach flying! Awesome! 😎
Yeah it's a great area to fly, you should try it.

Glad you enjoyed it, yes I feel very privileged to be able to do this.
Would love to see you fly somewhere in Cumbria!
Got loads of beautiful scenery.
That would be cool! I will have to come up at some point.
You are a flying BEAST!
🪂😈
Brilliant what a superb place to paramotor nice one Mark.
Glad you enjoyed it, this is one to remember for sure
Nice video - keep up the hard work
Thanks, will do!
nice one mark such a lovely flight see you at the pmc weekend
See you there!
Flew from that field about a month ago your lucky the cows weren't in it when you got back 😂
My wing still stinks of manure...

@@davidjohnson-gf9pu thanks so much will do! I want to see Skipton from the air too. I didn't notice any gas line. 🙄
Fantastic mate I will have to fly over Blackpool someday beautiful 🪂
Yeah that was a good one. Lancashire as a whole is great to fly over.
Have you ironed out all the issues with your Atom now?
Hopefully. I had a dodgy spark plug, which may have caused some issues earlier. I changed it last week and it's been fine since.
Also, have you got a new chase cam? It looks incredibly smooth
Same one, Go Pro Hero 11 Mini. It does look good in this video. Very smooth air.
nice flight :)
Thanks! 👍
Just out of curiosity. Do you might telling me what is your max Gust forecast you will not Risk flying in.?
Anything over 12 is 50/50. Over 15 and I will wait for a better time
❤❤❤❤

How do you avoid traffic while flying like from other general aviation planes and from commercial jet airliners..😊

@markallisonparamotor Okay, Thanks for reply from India.... 😊

Yes the greener parts of the UK are a joy to fly over. They are generally much wetter though so have fewer flying days per year.
Did a shorter version of your flight a week or so ago on my Sub 70 flexwing .
I would love to try an aircraft like that someday.
@@markallisonparamotor we’ve got something in common my aircraft - a Flylight Adam has an Atom 80 .
@@davidnewbrook8628 Wow I didn't think they were on any other aircraft. I thought sub 70s were mostly Moster 185s. Good to know
