Hunza Valley

Well it got a bit windy, then it got rainy, then it got better. Fernando and I came to Karimabad in the Hunza Valley. We were dumbstruck by the enormity of the mountains here. The last week it's been flyable. It seems unreal to me what can be done with some fabric and strings, sometimes when flying I can't believe what I'm doing. Just in case anyone is concerned I feel I am making good decisions, flying with a margin of safety especially in new areas. So that being said have a look at the pictures on my photo site under Hunza. There seems to be a difference between my pressure sensitive altimiter and GPS elevation, because the difference gets bigger the higher I get I tend to trust my GPS more, that being said my GPS read over 7000 meters yesterday! My technique to deal with the lack of oxygen is to hyperventilate and hold my breath at about 5000 meters then hop into a 7 meter per second thermal, pop up to cloudbase, take a few photos and go on glide, I recover quite well after a few minutes at 5000 again. Enjoy the photos!
