flyingfergus Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I spent a few days in N.Wales the other week. I plucked up courage to fly directly over the top of Snowdon (marked by the cafe at the top of the mountain) . Also did a 70 mile flight through the Llanberis pass and up the coast. Rather than explain it I have attempetd to post the track up load from my garmin via the connect-garmin web site. I am not sure if the e-mail share link works when posted on a forum(can't suss out how to do it otherwise) . Can other people without a connect-garmin account see the map, track, speed (average speed line) and distance graphs from this link:- http://connect.garmin.com/activity/9895 ... Eqgo.email If it works I have just got my new Speedster 28 & will post the circuits to show average speeds on the various settings ( when the wind stops blowing on the East Coast). Musn't forget a big thanks to Paul Haxby (AXB Sports) for organising the trip and advice on routes to fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Brilliant Fergus, clicking on the green start bubble brings up Garmin Connect with all the details and 'play' function. Excellent, down to 10 feet at one point Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyfreefly Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I like the look of that....pretty impresive piece of technology I noted you were 4900ft over the top thats 1000ft over the cafe so I can tell you didnt stop for a coffee....

flyingfergus Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks guys. 10ft...can't miss an opportunity to foot drag a deserted stretch of beach As for the coffee...no I didn't stop on that occasion but I did brave Snowdon later in the week to see the terain by foot from the cafe. I wouldn't have flown over it if I had done that first Now I know connect-garmin works I will do some 8 mile circuits on the different Speedster settings & post them in the same way. That way there should be no arguments about speeds, just need the darn wind to drop. Happy flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
