It’s Saturday 17th August and my first XC outing in the the UK for almost two months (yes, I’ve got plenty of Gumball volbiv footage to edit!) – the forecast was looking good for Worcester Beacon at the north end of the Malvern Hills, but as we all know, forecasts are not always right!
Sit back and enjoy a very tricky flight across the English flatlands… (and don’t forget to count the low saves!)

Great stuff Tim! Nice flying with you. I will do an edit on my footage, which sadly stops at 63km…. Oh well.
Remarkable xc, thought it was done at Evesham, critical moment turned into an epic one. Well done Tim
You had to work for that low save!
Good job sticking to it in those low saves. I can not believe I bombed out just as the sky improved after Banbury.
Awesome job, love your videos
Hi Tim! Looks lie you had switched off the low tone on sink : https://youtu.be/YtHAcslvouQ. I think to do it also
Another great video of another great flight. Well done Tim. How you got away with those low saves! Keep the videos coming, I thoroughly enjoy them.
That's the best yet. Low save tastic🎉
Came here to say excellent chip shop at Olney and then you flew over my old house at Cold Brayfield and a dear old chums place at Bromham low save #5 some fantastic memories of aviation foolery invoked in that area, thanks very much. I'm typing this in South Africa! Airship sheds at Cardington not hangers old boy.
Wow what a wonderful moment 😂, lots of magic low save
Hello Tim again fantastic, many saves and great job you have done
Amazing flight❤
Fantastic flight Tim and buddies. I studied the forecast on Friday night and saw RASP looking good and also saw the CANP/NOTAM for Worcester Beacon! But I went to Merthyr …. It was greyer, windier and rain was also coming . Anyway brilliant to see your low saves and happy face at the end. I was also happy with my gardening when I got home early grhhhh. We love PG❤
When you shake out all the bad luck with the first 2 flights
👍👍👍🫡
Excellent Video. I flew over the Malvern's on Saturday. Loved the saves. I may have to crack out my Paraglider again. Thanks for posting. great content.
Hi Tim, great video. Btw how did you learn to paraglide? Did you go to a particular school?
Mind blown. I feel like I am missing out on some XC days here in Northern Sweden that are overcast and a little windy. This rule of getting to base before going downwind on such days is bunk. Cheers for sharing!
