This was a cross country flight from Queenstown in the South Island of New Zealand, to the Mt Cook Village. I have flow the route a few times, this way is by far my favourite and the first time I went that way all in one day. Spectacular flying, It did look possible to keep going but was pretty tired by the time I got there.

Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Ben, that was an epic flight. Very interested to hear about how you plan the XC’s and do your weather predictions planning too. Maybe you could do a separate video on the technical planning aspect for all us beginners ?
Absolutely great video, some of the most enjoyable paragliding content out there. I like the introduction of the retrospective / interview style additions, really adds something. Keep 'em coming!
Luv the 3D flight tracks and smooth edits.
loving your content Ben, you've taken it up a notch or two with this one.
Cheers mate!! 🤓
this was sick!
Fabulous back country. You're gonna be responsible for a Euro invasion every summer ☺
Hopefully!!
like #100 thanks for this great video... you are an inspiration
🙏 super appreciated mate!
Epic scenery, epic flight, and epic editing as usual. You have such an incredible place to fly, can’t say I’m not envious, but i still enjoy my Sierra Nevada mountains, even though they aren’t as beautiful lol.
Just watched your last vid, flying with the eagle is pretty epic too bro. Good flying
That looked amazing with some amazing scenery too. Well done and thanks for sharing it with us.
Cheers Mick!!

Awesome! Loved the scenery
Awesome video as per. Like the interview style. Funny as im 99% sure you are just interviewing yourself. Brilliant.
hahaha so many people have said that! I should've included a question, I actually had my flatmate interview me 😆
Fantastic to see you on UA-cam Ben, and great to learn about the technicals of paragliding whilst listening to your New Zealand accent 😉 Thanks for sharing your passion with us great video, hope you are well.
Thanks mate! Yeah bit of a mongrel now I guess! Hope you're all good mate!
Great instruction in that flight. I've spent a bit of time climbing those peaks around Aspiring. The view you had I could only dream of. Hope you didn't get abandoned in Twizel too long as well!
Cheers mate! Funny actually, I was in Twizel for about 3 hours 🤣 that was the worst I’ve ever had it!
I live in the heart of the Rockies here in Canada and then f lying here is spectacular, but man do I love your mountains. The river valleys are beautiful. I don’t fly pg much these days but boy would I love to fly my motor where you are!!! Awesome flight and vid as always
Awesome, I'd love to fly there one day! Thanks very much!
Insane my brother!
Thanks mate! 😁
Bro great videos thank you for those!! Inspirational ✌️ I fly aswell love watching your adventures!
Cheers mate!
Awesome flight mate!
Thanks a lot!
So fun to watch your flight Ben! Keep 'em coming. Can I ask what app or software you're using to visualize your flight tracks? Love the way the tracks follow the topography and list your track points.
Thanks mate!! I use Google earth studio and Adobe After effects. I quite enjoy playing around with that actually
Wow Ben! You've been getting some amazing long flights in. Great to see you making it all the way from Coronet to Cook Village in one go. What's the total distance on this one?
Thanks mate! Yeah was a great summer, enjoying going through the footage now! That one was 168km.
@@BenjaminKellett You're a (FREAK) in mazing mate!! Can't wait for more exploits. I continue to spread the word to the rest of the flying world for you.
Hey Ben! Awesome video ❤ what's the helmet you've got on? ;)
Nice flying brother. I've been thinking of visiting NZ for some big alpine XC and this epic video has just moved the NZ trip up the list. When's the best time of year to come over weather wise?
Great Flying Ben, Just a question is cloud base always super low through those mountains or are there higher days ?
It is too bad what happened to this guy.
