I chatted to the pilot quite close to the summit as he hauled his large pack up. He was quizzing me about the wind speed up there - it's better to have a breeze to provide uplift as it moves up the sides of the mountain. Unfortunately, it was a relatively calm day and he sank down the side quite rapidly - I doubt his flight lasted more than a few minutes as he headed towards open pastures near the Hill Inn. Still, the views of the Black Shiver face of Ingleborough must have been quite spectacular.
