Paragliding from the summit of Ben Nevis via the Carn Mor Dearg arete | Walk, Scramble & Fly

Paragliding from the summit of Ben Nevis! Hike and fly adventure, across the CMD arete. A wonderful curving ridge line in the Grampian Mountains in Scotland that links Carn Mor Dearg (English translation: great red peak) with parent peak Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. In this Flybubble Vlog I enjoy the arête in spring conditions on firm snow, saving the knees on descent by flying from the summit of Ben Nevis on my lightweight paraglider. This flight has been something I have wanted to do since I took up paragliding five years ago so it feels fantastic to finally have everything come together as part of a brilliant mountain journey in some beautiful conditions.

"Carn Mor Dearg is the ninth-highest mountain in Scotland and the British Isles, with a height of 1,220 metres. It stands a short distance northeast of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, to which it is linked by the Carn Mor Dearg arête'." - Wikipedia

"Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in Scotland, the United Kingdom, and the British Isles. The summit is 1,345 metres above sea level and is the highest land in any direction for 739 kilometres." - Wikipedia

"The Grampian Mountains is one of the three major mountain ranges in Scotland, that together occupy about half of Scotland. The other two ranges are the Northwest Highlands and the Southern Uplands. The Grampian range extends southwest to northeast between the Highland Boundary Fault and the Great Glen." - Wikipedia
