Dream Flight: Coronet Peak to Mt Cook
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- 172.8km A new personal best for me and a site record for Coronet Peak (only just, previous record was 170.4km Angus Tapper in 2014), a line that I've dreamt about for years finally managed to string it together. I've flown the route in sections on different days but this is the first time I've put them all together. I took off with Aaron at Coronet Peak at about midday and we flew pretty much the whole way together, with Aaron leading most of the day. Mal joined us from Treble cone and we all landed pretty close to the village. Managed to score rides all the way back home by 130am.

Congratulations on an incredible (and inspiring) flight Ben. I flew around d Queenstown as a low airtime pilot and just can't wait to get back over and fly some of the lines you run. Every time I watch one of your videos the need grows! Would love to fly with you one day - thanks for making outstanding videos that help us all to learn the geography... And awesome to see a strong recovery from breaking your back!
Thanks mate!
Stunning flight! Well done and thanks for sharing!
Congrats Ben. That’s awesome. I love your comments during flight. Well done
Congratulations! Epic flight. Your videos/production is top notch man.
wow, I really enjoy watching your videos! What a great flight, so inspiring!
Congrats Ben!
Absolutely awesome video and what an incredible flight!
Epic man. Congratulations 🍾
Pretty sure I saw you guys pass overhead at Mt Alpha. strong conditions for me. Nice job!
Awesome man!
Incredible
Yeh bro!
Legendary! :)
Sweet! Your vids are keeping me going during the grey damp locked-down UK winter! What happened to the GoPro? Did the battery run out half way through the flight? Or did it just freeze like mine has done on occasion?
PS. Glad you're back in the saddle again after your hard landing the other week...
Thanks mate! It just froze (hero 9) so I started recording with the back up (hero 7), that also needed the battery removing before it'd work. Getting pretty fed up with them, sooner or later I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and try something else! Maybe insta 360 one R?
잘봤습니다 뉴질랜드는 언제가 비행하기 좋은가요?10월? 11월?...
Thanks for watching! 😊 October and November are both great for flying in New Zealand as the weather starts warming up. Have you been here before?
@@BenjaminKellett꼭 가보고 싶어요. 캠핑을 하면서 장거리 비행을 하고 싶네요.😊
Awesome video! But, you broke your back 3 weeks ago???!!! WTF? :-D
Yeah but not too bad, flying is fine, long walks with a backpack could get uncomfortable after a couple of hours. Bit more of an incentive to make goal!
ua-cam.com/video/An0cThuhHII/v-deo.html wait bro do i hear you saying you broke your back here 3 weeks ago? lol whats the story? which vid is that?
haha it's up there somewhere, yeah that was a rubbish day. Wasn't too bad in the end.
