Epic Microlight Adventure: Ultralight Camping with Friends at Stoke Golding Airfield
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Join me and my mate Giles Fowler as we pack our flexwing SSDR microlight / ultralight aircraft full with camping gear and fly to Stoke Golding for an overnight trip.
We were treated to our very own personalised air show set against a stunning sunset and the sunrise the following morning was just as breath-taking.
I'll show you what you need to pack and just how easily it can be stowed away into a Flylight trike. I'll also explain why fly camping or "Flamping" is just so cool.

Hi Paul,
REF: LANDING!
If you walk away from one in-injured, It was a good One!
Another great little Video.
Thanks 👍I suppose by definition it was a good landing. Just not very pretty!!
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
And if you can use the aircraft again, it’s a great landing. 😆
Hi Paul, just subscribed. Great info and entertaining to watch. Your landing 10/10....you landed.😎
Welcome Steve and thanks for the sub. That was one of my better arrivals. They’re not all that smooth!!
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one
Ģreat cake at Stoke Golding 😋
Dam. I didn’t get any cake! Fantastic airfield though. This is definitely going to become an annual outing for me. 👍
There was cake... Gutted.
Superb video Paul, you have really got the hang of this YT malarkey. I can see lots of hard work in this, hopefully it will get the views it deserves. Brilliant stuff.
Thanks mate. Took me bloomin ages! I will get quicker (I hope!). 👍
Another great informative video, but not sure about your wingman 😂 😂
I needed someone to hold my camera!! 👍
@@paulieb796 too true. @asquaddie, yep, dodgy that chap, really dodgy.
Awesome
Glad you liked it. I’m just editing the second part of this years camping trip. Should be out soon. 👍
Why go camping with an ultralight? Why do anything. I have a tattoo Why, Why Why not. The world is out there for us to enjoy, and you and Gyles are living it.
Think you’ve hit the nail on the head there Simon. Life’s too short to not grab it and shake every last bit of good stuff out of it. 👍
Ace adventure Paul/Giles , if I can get a bit more experience and confidence I’d love to give it a go 👍
Fred, your welcome to join us any time. The more the merrier. 👍
Thanks mate 👍
I love these videos. I’m starting to get a bit fond of those Flexwings too. Great video
Thank you Paul. Flexwings are in my opinion the best form of flying although I am a bit biased! Glad you are enjoying the videos. I’ve got loads more in the pipeline. 👍
@@paulieb796 The videos are fantastic. I’m a flexwing pilot myself with a 912 Blade but with Giles and your videos I’m getting very fond of those little ones. Keep the videos coming.
Top video Paul. Stoke Golding is definitely going on my list, looks great. Note to self: keep away from Doner Kebab Pot Noodles, looks like it burns 😲 🔥😛
Thanks Ian. It’s a peach of an airstrip. Great facilities and a superb place to drink beer and watch aeroplanes! Let me know when you’re going. I’m up for a return trip👍
Hi Paul, that video still made me giggle and I was there, sorry for hijacking your video form time to time. That happy trip will stay with me for a long long time. Great weather, great strip and most importantly, wonderful fully buddy company.
Thanks bud. Don’t worry about grabbing my camera. Your years of experience was a huge help. I wouldn’t have thought choking on a pot noodle would actually be entertaining to watch. Even I had a giggle watching it back!! 👍
Good one 👍
Thanks Patrick. I am growing accustomed to seeing your thumbs up in the comments section. It is greatly appreciated. 👍
Well it most definitely didn't disappoint! You've captured perfectly the main reasons why I bought a PeaBee. Overnight stays like this one are what I have always imagined. You made a cracking job of this one; your vids are properly 'pro' now. Keep 'em coming. 👍👏😁
Ta Dan. It takes me ages to edit these videos (‘cos I don’t know what I’m doing!) so those comments mean perhaps I’m not wasting my time. 👍
@@paulieb796 Definitely not. This was a properly enjoyable watch. Mrs S enjoyed it too so you must be doing something right! 👍
Great Video Paul, good advert for Stoke Golding & the Bivvy Bee !! Keep 'em coming
Thanks for watching. The bivvy Bee is a fantastic machine for touring and Stoke Golding is a gorgeous strip. They both sell themselves really! More videos in the pipeline. 👍
Nice video again that looked like a great little adventure
It was. We picked the perfect evening for it. 👍
Professional and interesting video, particularly enjoyed your outbound section from Darley with overlaid circuit information.
Hi Peter. Thank you for subscribing and your kind comment. I don’t know about professional, I’m still a beginner but I am trying to make each video 1% better than the last one. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
Nice one Paul 👍🏼
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. We had a right laugh making it. 👍
Just over to you from watching Giles. I really enjoyed your banter and found it a very entertaining video, Paul. I'll definitely be hanging around to see more of your productions. Keep them coming, sir! 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Thanks for watching and subscribing. I’ve got loads of ideas for more videos. 👍
Really enjoyed, perhaps more so having watched Gilles as well… can I ask, if you point out something you zoom in a bit, my old eyes don’t see as well as they once did 😂
Thanks Neil. I take your point about zooming in. I’m still learning so this feedback is very helpful. 👍
Brilliant video paul....looks like you and giles had a great time👍
We absolutely did. Although the pot noodle had some nasty after effects!! 👍
Great video. Hopefully I'll get to do the same in a few years 😎
Thanks Andrew. Why wait?
@paulieb796 😁 I'm swotting up as much as possible whilst gathering funds. Hopefully lessons next year 🤞
Best of luck Andrew. Good idea to make an early start on the theory side of things. 👍
Nice video Paulie. Cool that you had GF22 along. What engine do you have on your Bivvybee? I may have asked this before, but hey…I’m old!
Hi Tom. Thanks for watching. The engine is a Cors-Air BlackBull. It’s 235cc single cylinder 2 stroke putting out 33BHP, so a bit bigger than Giles’s motor. I’m crackin’ on a bit too so fully appreciate a senior moment. 👍
Great video Paul, some real laugh out loud moments… one question…. is there not a weight limit to the amount of stuff you can carry?
Max total weight I can carry is 150kg which includes pilot and fuel. Absolutely no more Doner Kebab flavoured pot noodles though. You weren’t kidding! They are bloody hot🥵 X
Is that your MAUW? I think my Adam wing is 190kg, which as mine is a sub-70, gives me about 30kg of baggage allowance! Is that better than Ryanair? 😂@@paulieb796
Can any micro lite air craft take off from water and or land on water with water float landing gears I don't think it's possible but if it is reply thanks
@@dalroache it has been done. Ben Ashman from Flylight has previously fitted floats to one of his flexwing microlight designs. 👍
CORRECTION: Un- Injured.
Regards
BATTS.
On another note, that boy can’t fly in a straight line to save his life!
It's all lies I tell you. 😁😂😜
It was a 30 mile flight for me. 45 for Giles!!
@@paulieb796 I had to keep circling or weaving to keep slow enough for you. 😜.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 won’t be a problem soon 😉
