STUNNING Flight Almost ends in DISASTER

My wing got unloaded and I almost hit power lines during this eventful epic flight around the Isle of Wight. Some lessons to be learned in this one.

Very picturesque views! And a nice history lesson as well!

Amazing flight and wonderful views. My heart was in my mouth when you missed the powerlines. I know what it is like to hit those bad boys. What an adventure.

Mark, another brilliant vdeo, scarey what thermals and airflow can do! Flew the leg near Thorney Island and Selsey during the PARAMOTOR CHALLENGE and it is stunning. Cheers mate, keep up the good work.

I thoroughly enjoy the British history lessons and the aerial views.

Wow plenty to take away from that one Mark. Even in bigger aircraft we don't fly the leeside of a cliff or mountain below the ridge line, I can imagine that was quite a ride down you were getting there. Those power lines, man you were so lucky, very dodgy. Excellent content as always mate.

Excellent video Mark, glad we could have helped with the sites, more sites coming on line soon...

Loved the history awesome jouney glad i watched

How do you stop speedbar lines going back into prop when not attached?

[shanesplanetshane]

Wow, thats some awesome scenery. I clinked the bottom of my frame off the top a power line on my first ever flight. Scared the sh*t outta me, but at least I picked my feet up. Im thinking we'd be okay as long as we only dangle from one. I couldnt imagine being at wfo and losing altitude. You've balls of steel my friend.

[NCPPGpilot]

Absolutely gorgeous! Been there, done that. It's so easy to lose focus and get bitten.

Another amazing video, how long does it take you to plot all the interesting things you point out?

You’re doing some excellent PR for the sport and lucky honest about things that don’t go as you planned which is helpful to others 👍🏻

Brilliant. Me and my buddy flew from Bristol to Ross-on-wye airfield down the river wye, inspired by you. Thanks.

[barrywebber]

Fabulous flights, wonderful scenery!
I'd love to fly with you, the only problem I'm having difficulties finding training and also maintaining my used PAP paramotor!
Thanks for posting Mark.

[ZielinskiIrek]

what a trip, what a video, what a fix to the chase-cam issue :)
well done Mark!

[tommo]

Incredible footage and loving the content. Seriously considering taking up paramotoring, it looks bliss! I currently fly out of Lee On Solent airfield ona PPL, didn’t realise you guys could get so high, will certainly be looking out harder for you guys higher up! Thanks for sharing

Another amazing video mate! I love the history lessons/pointers. Finding little gems like that is one of my favourite things to do when flying. Once my back is back to normal i'd love to go flying with you at some point! I'm down near Brighton and just struggling to find somewhere to takeoff so if you know anyone to the east of Brighton way, i'd appreciate the pointer! Take care mate, keep up the good work!
