Thank you for your support and helping me to pursue a lifelong dream. Learning to fly a paramotor is something I discovered during the lockdowns of 2020 and did in 2021. I wish I found it sooner! I first saw Johnny Mercer MP do some paramotor flying one day in 2020 and wondered what on Earth I had just seen, then watched one too many Tucker Gott videos after looking into it some more, the flying to McDonald’s one especially (cheers for getting me hooked dude’s). It has done wonders for my mental health. I look forward to sharing my adventures with you! I have been getting those hours in! Subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss the next video. It is planned and all that is left to wait for is that good weather. If you would like to sponsor an episode or the channel for a period of time, don't hesitate to get in touch. If you would like to send a small tip into the virtual jar, please visit the link below.
See you for another one soon, guys! stay well and fly safe!

The Pub, The Paramotor and the Hot Air Balloon.
Hello and welcome back for another episode of paramotor flying in the UK. No food this time, but a cheeky beverage....... of course!
This time out was a little different than usual, as I tend to take off and land at the same spot, completing the flight as I do so. On Saturday though, I proceeded to take off from the back garden and flew my paramotor to the Griffins Head Pub in Papplewick for a XC flight, to rendezvous with Nottingham and Derby Hot Air Balloon Club as they inflated their latest Balloon for a short tethered flight. I was invited to join them so it wasn't a random landing. My landing zone was quite a squeeze and there are power lines at each end of the field as you will see, so please do not attempt to land here without solid landing skills. if you have only just finished learning to fly a paramotor or have yet to perfect your landings it might be worth waiting. It is courteous to call in ahead of landing too, so please do so if you're thinking of a flight to the pub.
Thank you to Nick Sanders for the drone footage, and also to Robin Macey for the stills, plus invite.
I don't think I have ever seen such a happiness in my eyes as there is at the outro of this one, those of you that know my background will know how much of a victory that is, and proof to others that we can overcome the dark times.
Don't forget to hit the thumbs up and subscribe to help the channel growth situation - it is hugely appreciated!
As always guys, stay blessed and fly safe!

Hello and welcome back for another paramotor shenanigan fest. This one was always going to happen, since the beginning it was always an idea to do something along the lines of 'food flight' but as is usually the case with me, there were a few obstacles to overcome first. I will talk about all the struggle bits in upcoming videos in the hope it will help some of you overcome difficult times too....
If you’re having flare trouble I feel BAD for you son, I got 99 problems but The Beach aint one.

the music ruined the video
Under training, no cameras are allowed on helmets for safety reasons not a very good school
First the burger must marinate in the sky 🤣🤣
Awesome scenery! Nice flight!
How much for learning that?
Well done!!
This has made me want to get into paramotoring! Well moreso than ever living in the Peak District❤
I don’t suppose you were flying above hemlock stone this evening? Looked great fun whoever it was, we were biking and in awe! Looked into lessons 😂
Wowzer!
Круто! Красава!))
Oops!
Crazy!
What happened, I followed through the whole Hobbs burger and now the gliding thing but then all quiet
Life happened on some scale man, long story short, had no recording equipment for ages, and a tonne of bills taking priority 🥲 back in the game now 😬
@@Pete_Hobbs good because I’ve always enjoyed your journey from the burgers to the skys. Glad your back dude
You just gotta love a Huey!!😊
Impressive bits of kit, chonky rotors too 😂
Lucky gits! 😂
Hydrotherapy pool so I’m double jel 😂
@@Pete_Hobbs ugh then yup super lucky gits!
What happens if a bird flies directly into the parachute bit or the engine cuts out .
😍😍😍
One day I'll get up there!❤ (it's Amy btw lol ) xx
😮
I like to be accurate 😂🎯
At least you didn’t end up in a tree again 😂😂😂
😊
Hoping for some of this down south 😎
Engine's just died you serious 😂 I bet he shit himself 😂
The joy of two strokes 😂 it’s no drama though, they just turn into paragliders instead of paramotors 😂 his face was a pure classic mind 😂
I'd love to do this it looks wicked
I’ve got some tandem spaces available if you really want to try it 😎🤟🏻🪂 best thing in the world!
@@Pete_Hobbs thanks for the offer but after seeing some of you close call vids I'll pass lol 😂
Close calls from a year ago and more? Your loss mate 😂
@@Pete_Hobbs I didn't look at the dates just seen the video say close call an was like oh ok I'll pass
That was my claim to fame that, it got me on a tucker video 😂 lots of flying has been done since, must have had 15-20 people up there with me now too 😬 best thing ever!
❤
😮❤
Subbed ❤ your outlook on life 🙌
Thanks for the sub dude! Back to uploading again, rode mic incoming for full vids too 😎
Is your shop still open?
Gosh it felt like yesterday when i was sweeping water of the front of my house. I live not far from there and my house was almost flooded!
That was some crazy stuff, I’ve never seen anything like it - the sheer volume of water was unreal! I do sometimes wonder if everyone has been made right again following that!
Epic🤟

Awesome cool guy! ❤
Whoa!!!! Flying with a wing and a prayer! You are one awesome guy ❤
so cool! amazing skills! 🔥🔥
Looks like the car situation is about to be resolved so more of this can be done 🙏🏻 this would be cooler with the jet skis 👀😂
Well it's a good thing you're using a parachute.
You’re so cool
I read somewhere that this is the safest form of flying. Ofc it wouldn't take long until people got so good at it, that it could go back around to being dangerous as shit again!! 😂
Mint

Need them later and deeper now 😈 need to join you for a shred sometime 🤟🏻
