Paul Abbott, Grasmere. This is a collection of my hike & fly videos around my local valley, in England's Lake District. One day maybe i will fly further afield! 😂
I have written a basic guidebook for visiting pilots here: sites.google.com/view/grasmerehikeandfly/home
This channel is just for fun, for my children to see, and also to help me remember my flights. For my work, see www.GrasmereDistillery.com
CURRENT PROJECT:
1) To improve at XC and thermalling up to cloudbase. Current PB is 3,500ft high. More courage this year!
2) In particular I want to fly a circumnavigation of the Grasmere valley, meaning all the way around the skyline.
(Basic route: Grasmere Showground, Nab Scar, Heron Pike, Stone Arthur, Great Rigg, Seat Sandal, Steel Fell, Helm Crag, Lang How, Silver How, Loughrigg, Grasmere Showground.) You can tag the summits on foot, or flying. Probably easiest anticlockwise with WSW wind.
