Nice. Some good weather, conditions for climbing looked perfect.
Should have learnt to do this sport years ago.

Fantastic achievement

Well done Stuart, exciting take off by the looks of it

I met Stuart out flying on Latrigg a few weeks before he set off on this trip
and found out about the Yak, and planned expedition looks like a brilliant wing for mountaineering and flying.
Mmmm......Tempting
