I wish (not really) that my plums were this big

If Everest is anything like the Lake District, just as you crest the next mound thinking you are at the top, a sheep looks down at you and goes BAAAAA.
 
Not in the least bit racist or stereotypical, you need to try harder to include other nations.

Such as the Irish chap who took his wellies back to get a longer string.

Or the Scottish pair who invented copper wire, fighting over a penny.

That's me fooked then.
 
I have no idea why there is some theoretical connection between a Welsh farmer, wellingtons and sheep. Except of course that all farmers of whatever nationality wear wellingtons, a lot of them have sheep, and all of them have Land Rovers. Specially Welsh Farmers because Land Rovers are better than tractors in the hills where sheep may safely graze.

There, did I get out of that safely?
 
I want one!
But
1) where is the fuel gauge - how do you know when you are going to run out of gas?
2) what is stopping him from sliding off the back? Surely he doesn't have to use his arm muscles clinging on to the frame? The straps weren't tight.
What courage he has to test fly that! A lot of guts and big wotnots required to do a prototype flight.
I wonder where it was? Holland looks possible, very flat and a canal.
 
As for the straps he steers with body weight I thinks, short flight after a lot of testing so fuel estimated, baby steps to get that far I suppose.
 
I was thinking of when I ride a motorbike over 60mph (80kmh) I have to hang on as the air drag pulls me backwards. I would have thought this flier would experience significant air drag. He doesn't appear to have foot rests to absorb the drag forces.
Anyway, I expect there is a pudding basin sized depression in the fuselage to accommodate his massive nether regions.
