Stunning site Mark. Did you do it in you old windlass?? Any idea when the DVD will be available??

Thanks for the kind words. No I did it in a Raptor, bought Rickies old one, Tjeerd did it in his Windlass ...strapping on all the extra camera kit and parachute may have made it a bit difficult with the 503 ...

The DVD should take me another month or so to complete ...

Wow its awesome. Makes a pleasanty change from seeing trikes flying over the sea, dams and mountains. Its not exactly the environment where you would like an engine out is it?

You would probably never recover the wreck without a helo. Never mind getting out of there with some injuries

Yes the terrain is tricky, you need to be aware like always what you are to do in the event of engine out ....

I have been there in May and June, June was really freezing cold but the weather was better. So take a good sleeping bag, I bought a sheet to go inside my bag , made it a little more uncomfortable but gives you a few more degrees margin.

Two thumbs up to Mark and the gang for an excellent dvd. I watched it last night and can truly recommend it to all. The camerawork, commentary, sound and overall quality of the dvd is of a highly professional nature, not to mention the truly awesome scenery. These guys have made an excellent movie and I would like thank them for sharing their experience with us.
One request guys: Make us another movie soon - I am sure you will get the "Africa" bread just right this time.

Watched the DVD last weekend, awesome stuff. Another good reason to fly trikes. Well done guys.

Great stuff Mark. Couldn't wait to get home and watched it on the laptop. I soon had a crowd around my desk watching too.

When is the next trip and subsequent DVD?

Keep it up
