- I got down to 300ft above the ground when I was approaching Dorchester today!
Edit - courtesy of Jakub Vrána here’s the video with the tracklog overlaid: xcvid.com/2708125 According to that, Jakub says I was only 67 m (220 ft) AGL at 3:42! Thanks Jakub 👍🏻👍🏻

I vividly remember the skydivers each year dropping into the Crewe carnival and being amazed, 77 Jubilee a big treat with a few dozen, the locals flying primative RC planes (with primative AM Futaba gear) off the playing fields and always obsessed as a youngster with the Spitfires and Lancasters, could draw them to spec off memory. The blue stratos adverts and then a few years later in my adopted Australian home, the "Birdmen of Killamonjaro" movie along with "Monkey" surfing the clouds. I can just imagine the youth of today being amazed seeing the modern paraglider so close to landing and being taken away by the invisible energy of the sun. But then again, maybe not, you have to take pause, too many diversions from what's truly amazing these days. But we can only hope that the human spirit of flight isn't too diluted by the chaos of the humdrum, easily accesable cheap thrill. Another great vid Tim.
Thanks mate! I think kids just tend to think anything is possible these days, it tends to be adults who are amazed by what we can do on modern paragliders. Most think all we do is top to bottoms and maybe a bit of soaring...
Love these videos, helped me many times when fighting low. when finding something i remember back to these videos. mapping the thermal quickly and focus all energy to the task of getting up.
Thanks, I remember that one clearly, so satisfying when it happens. Glad you enjoy the vids and find them useful 👍🏻👍🏻
Love it. Never give up
It’s the best feeling ever.
Cheers Matt, you're right, it was very satisfying!!
That was awesome , Nice find
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
Quelle pompe!
Love it Tim. Thrilling to watch and even more thrilling to get one. “F Ing Five” well done, especially from so low down.
Absolutely brilliant Tim. I can’t tell you how much your videos have helped my flying! Love it!
Thanks James, really nice to hear when people feel they benefit from them 👍🏻 Glad you enjoyed this one!
Good job 👍.
Thanks 👍
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Although as an HG pilot, I admire your ability to hang on to that wobbly blomange!
Like rding a uni-cycle and juggling 4 balls. Do a course, as an ex hangie, I highly recommend it.
Good one
Thanks
Airgasm!
😂
low saves are underrated
Thanks Ben, can't beat a good low save, even though I'd rather not need one in the first place! Here are a couple more in case you haven't seen them...

and this flight was full of them! th-cam.com/video/bFL84xc-Dns/w-d-xo.html
great vid, thank you for sharing! what a parabola...
Fantastic! Great education for a relative novice such as myself - I have found and lost lift low down many times so really interesting to see how you found it, lost it and found it again - nice!
Glad you found it helpful! I was pretty certain I must have flown out of the back of it...
That was awesome. Just as you say they've got to start somewhere...bam! Looking forward to the full video.
Yeah, that was good timing 😂
Great Job Tim!! Looking forward to the full video
Yep, nothing like a low save! Never give up... so many over the years and they always seem so unlikely!
Such a great feeling! looking forward to the full video
Nice one! 😁😁😁
Thanks 😁
@@TimPentreath That's what I like about PG, how low you can save it and climb away 😃😃
Oh yeah, I can smell the hay too!
Brilliant low save, Tim! I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice!can't Wait to see a new Story!
Brilliant, six minutes into the video I started breathing again
😂
WOW WOW WOW, awesome stuff Tim.... At times, some of the noises you were making sounded like I was watching a porno, haha "Oh yeeaahhh a fookin 5, lets get back in it, gimme some".... god knows what my wife thought I was watching!!........Mere mortals would have eyed up the landing zone at the start of this clip, and the fixation of the landing field would have resulted in being on the ground im sure. Looking forward to the full vid.
😂😂
What a great low save. Thanks for sharing. 😍
Wow.....excellent flying
Thanks 👍
amazing! great footage and nice save
👍👍👍👍💪
Brilliant!
You lucky men👍🏻😊
Nice one.
Good thermals will always appear for the good guys.😅
Haha, if only!
Even after all those years of flying Looks like you still get euphoric rush when you hook a good one based on your hooting and hollering.
This was my first flight since coming back from Switzerland over a month ago so I was extra happy to be flying again!
Beauty!!!
Hear hear!
Yeah, Freakin' awesome🤘 Never give up. Tried it myself not long ago at 80m above gnd, did manage to stay up a bit longer but not enough to get up high again. Strong wind didn't help either😅😂
It helped that I had plenty of landing options should I have not found it, or fallen out of it low down...
Wow Tim, that one must have felt amazing hehe
Certainly did!
Wow!!!! Do you think it was a few smaller narrow thermals like roots feeding into one larger one in the center? I’m still not use to the bumpy air in these situations. I intentionally left my last thermal but I was kicking myself after 😅
Could have been, that's certainly what the models suggest, which is why thermals get bigger and easier to use the higher you get, and maybe the smaller blips before the main thermal would have joined the one I found higher up, but I felt they were too small to work with hence why I carried on until I got lucky
Wonderful! There's nothing better than recovering from an almost certain landing out, it's like cheating death...well death of the flight ;)
Great job. Looks a little bumpy at the beginning. 😊
Hi Tim, for me in the northern hemisphere at very low altitude works better turn to the left because the rotation of the thermal is in the opposite direction and find more ease to keep in the core specially in a strong small cores. You have the similar experience or don’t saw any difference? (Maybe is just my idea) Thanks for your videos I’m flying for the last 28 years and keep learning a lot is an unlimited “drug” 😁. Regards from California
That was so good. Do you think turning right at your second turn by the house made some difference? Do you prefer left turns? Why didnt you correct upwind with turning because you are very experienced pilot i love watching you fly and give some information :)
Turning right over the flats in the northern hemisphere is a good bet!
I'm not sure when you mean? Are you talking after when I found the thermal properly? Basically I turn towards where I think the wing is telling me that the thermal is. But I don't always get it right!
Re you second question, as you can see it was small and quite rough low down so it was all I could do to stay more or less in it. Once you get high it's always easier to centre it properly and make into wind adjustments.
I don't believe our old friend Coriolis has anything to do with thermal rotation direction - I think it's much more down to the terrain
@@TimPentreath no not when you found and get couple hundered i mean when you were searching and getting into it. when it is near ground it is weak and turning opposite side makes some difference at least it is comfortable to turn opposite side
@@htamerursavas I'm not sure what you mean by "turning opposite side". I was turning left at 3:05 for the first two turns, then turned to the right when I properly found it. I'm not sure if I have a preferred turn direction - I'd have to check with a flight analysing tool...
At 5'15"😂😂😧
Top floor please.
