Amazing Journeys - Soaring to Aoraki/ Mount Cook

[c762x39]

Makes the video more thrilling to watch when you see another glider in the vicinity. Shows the whole scale of the scenery and you get to say "Wow... I look like that?!"

Would be very grateful if you could advise what the name of the backing music is... Just a brilliant accompaniment to the visuals... I lived at Mt Cook for 4 years and have had the pleasure of flying 172s up there - but gliding must take it to another level...just brilliant!

What is that beepy thing? Awesome video thanks for posting.

@slooob23 Cheers! The beepy thing is an acoustic variometer which beeps faster and at a higher pitch the higher the current climb rate of the glider is. In this case I was climbing with > 5 m/s or as pilots here sometimes say... climbing like a homesick angel ;-)

Well that just made the video even better! Must be a real rush, I guess that is due to an updraught from Mt Cook?

@GilaTomster .....New Zealand has around 800 mountains over 5000 feet........and many over 10 000 ft
