  • Speedflying the mountains of Lofoten, Norway.
    An afternoon hike and fly up a local favourite here on Flakstaøya. I look at this mountain nearly every day. I have wanted to fly it since May, but conditions have never worked in my favour. This afternoon I had a small wind window on sunset that could work. I started the hike with lots of time, took it easy and flew the drone a lot on the way up. When I got to the peak, conditions were perfect. The views from Hustinden are spectacular, I'm still so blown away by the Lofoten area, it's incredibly beautiful wherever you look. A very special afternoon, and a very special flight.

      Cool to hear you've lived in Revy! You'll have to head back one day and get the speedy out on Mt Cartier.
      Stumbled on your channel and been enjoying your videos the last few months. You do some really great work.

      Thanks mate. It’s a work in progress, but I’m enjoying the process of learning to edit. Although frustrating at times 😂

    I think you could start on Istind, North of Glomfjord, over the glacier and go into the valley below. On the map there is a glacier lake that continues with a creek in a pretty straight line down to a bigger lake. The drop into the valley is very nice with a small waterfall. Then you go into the woods along a small river ti the lake and the sea. The valley is an old glacier valley between Storskardtinden and Melkarstua. I have hiked there and it is very scenic.

      Hey mate. Nice to hear your interested! Climbers make great Paragliders.
      There are a handful of guys that fly in the area, but a bigger scene in Bodø.
      You need to do a course, to learn about the wings and weather.
      bhpgk.club Maybe try getting in touch with these guys.
      I know a cool blonde French girl that works in Unstad, she flys a lot if your ever over there keep your eyes peeled.

    Hi Corey, have you nice videos! This year I want to Norway travel, with my Susi 16 and Flame 13 wings. We could meet and fly together? Now I started with speedflying, so I'm a complete beginner and self-taught.
