At around 11.30am on 19th August, Tim jumped from the prow of Lord Berkeley’s Seat on An Teallach into the precipice of Lord’s Gully below. After a freefall of around a hundred metres, Tim’s wingsuit filled with air and he began to glide out of the gully and into the vast amphitheatre of Toll an Lochain. After a flight of over 30 seconds, Tim pulled his chute above the lochan and landing safely beachside. In doing so he opened up the first wingsuit BASE jump exit on a mountain in the UK.
Tim (and others helping out on the project) put in multiple trips to recce the jump, checking slope profiles and crunching the numbers - it was going to be tight, but Tim was completely confident (even if he had an imperfect jump) it would go. In the end Tim made it look comfortable, easily clearing the crux sections of the flight - a testament to the many highly technical training flights he’d accrued in preparation for this project.

How long after this photo did the suit inflate?

Not sure exactly (Tim will have the exact data somewhere), but going by the timestamp on the photos around a second/second and a half

I can only stand back and applaud such madness, but respect to Tim for the accomplishment and to Hamish for capturing the moment. I once jumped off a swing but to be fair it wasn't even swinging :-)

Wow - on a whole different level from the endless bouldering photos here.

Totally crackers!!!
