    Lovely sky and nice video mate, but one thing I was taught 20+ years ago when I started paragliding was, if a cloud is wider than it's tall it may be dangerous. Those Cu in the distance didn't look nice. They would have been a warning sign for me when pg or when paramotoring. My first thought was convergence as someone else has said, though I'd have thought late in the day for that. When flying in the Alpes (I have a lot) I was told to always look around at the clouds on the mountains around you. If they are booming, the ones you are flying under (can't see the tops) may be getting big too. Ears then bar to get away from suck, and I've used it. Something else I was warned about was embedded CuNimbs. You had no idea what that clouds above the stuff you were under were doing (as you discovered!) I prefer clear blue skies for power flying, but I'm a chicken! I wondered about you pulling big ears too. I've never managed to pull them when testing on my Dudek Universal. It was taking a scary amount of force. I've pulled B lines on a normal PG it was OK, but never tried with a reflex wing? Fly safe.

    • @markallisonparamotor
      @markallisonparamotor 6 днів тому

      Yes I've been taught that too. 😏 I was surprised how strong it was at that time of day and how rocky and turbulent the air was too, which is why I didn't deploy bar. I've heard that big ears don't do that much, and better off doing wing overs or spirals, but I haven't measured it.

    • @BJ-nv6ko
      @BJ-nv6ko 6 днів тому

      @@markallisonparamotor Real BIG big ears, say 25% each side, can be effective! I've had as much 'sink' as I got with B lines doing that. Re spirals: I did one under supervision and over water once in Slovenia and it was scary as fck! (It wasn't an SIV course as such, just a guided trip with really good guys who encouraged exploring that stuff. ) The French schools (apparently) teach a method of doing a spiral with one big ear in which is apparently safer, probably cos it won't lock in, though I've never tried it.

    @All_things_RC. 6 днів тому

    Great video Mark as always, I love watching your flying exploits. The sunset flying wow what a view and those golden clouds stunning. Your cloud suck experience reminds me of an experience I had (along time back) when I was flying in wave lift in a open class sailplane over Lincolnshire. The wave lift took me from 3200ft to 18100ft in 28minutes where the wave bar petered out. This left a large areas of lift but thermal, no matter where I flew I was in either lift or 100ft /min sink. Long story short it took me 4 hours to get down and most of that was over the north sea. A great experience but frightening at times watching the wings flexing and icing. Take care and keep the videos coming 👍

    • @markallisonparamotor
      @markallisonparamotor 6 днів тому

      Wow that is crazy. Did you have oxygen on board? I wasn't too concerned with this one because I could see clear skies ahead and knew I would hit sink at some point. I just didn't expect it to be so strong at that time of day.

    • @All_things_RC.
      @All_things_RC. 6 днів тому

      @@markallisonparamotor I always carried oxygen but didnt use it much as I preferred to fly cross country tasks as opposed to altitude. On that particular day I had launched at Camphill Derbyshire picked the wave up West of Sheffield and decided to follow it for the height rather than use it for the distance. The wave bar was 8 miles long N to S travelling in an Easterly direction. My initial thought was to gain height and then travel south towards Nottingham and back to Camphill logging a triangulated course. Sadly never made it back to Camphill and had to be recovered from a field near Bawtry. Great experience though but very cold at 18000ft.

The B-lines cut into your hands, so wearing protective gloves is advisable. ATB

      @@markallisonparamotor DJI is what I'm looking at, If I had a spare AU$200, there's an insane deal on the action 3 at the moment (until sold out). "Unfortunately" all my money is going into our Van at the moment since we're heading to my first fly in as a licensed pilot in 2 weeks.

    Hey Mark, Your a great pilot and I'll be honest for me when I get into the sport I'll be doing exactly what your videos cover, just visiting places and seeing it from the air. Yeah sure wing overs are cool but.....that's not what I enjoy, like you I'm going to be a plain pilot that's what I enjoy just cruising and seeing cool stuff from a view only few see! Keep the style don't change its brilliant. I hope when I get into the sport finally I get to fly with you or even just meet you guys! Keep up the amazing videos I look forward to the next!

    Just through the short conversation that we’ve had the few times we’ve meet up has given me even more drive to get in the air, all be it in a trike!! Hopefully will get to fly with you at some point and you can do the talking!! Keep up the good videos

    You are my favourite non-GA channel Mark and you've become a mate. This is what YT is all about, having fun, making videos, sharing a passion, being real and making friends. So deserved and a real milestone, surprisingly you flew at 2,000ft in this video to match the subs so perhaps you should continue this, 3k subs, 3k flight that way knowing people they will want you to get to 20k subs so they see you fly at FL200 :-) Well done mate must be time for a meet up!

      We need to arrange some kind of adventure, like flying in somewhere. Recently got my FRTOL so that gives me more options. Although there's a lot of interference which I'm currently trying to fix. Thanks for the support, and hope to see you again soon! Love your channel too! I love the 3000' for 3K subs idea!

    Do a vol biv! Do a 300 km FAI triangle! And most importantly, do the BOPC (you really don't need to take it seriously at all, it's just a tun way to fly somewhere new). You definitely don't need to train at all, you have a lot of the skills already.

    Hi Mark from my side dont change anything, your channel, how you portray the sport and the information you share is pot on. Historical sections (photographic and narration), beautiful aspects of our wonderful country from the air and sharing the world of PPG from your prospective which is your enjoyment and enthusiasm is perfect. Keep up the great work, what you do and how you put the videos together is unique keep up the great work. 👏👏👌
