Balleka's video: Cloud Dancer - Cockpit Version

It's a long one. Most of the raw footage from the cockpit Gopro. I've trimmed out most of the monotonous back and forth and tried to keep the bits where I attempt to give some insight to what's I think is happening. The point where I give up on the quest to go south and go and play in the clouds, the awesome last 20 minutes of the flight to joining overhead the airfield is shown in its entirety. I'll upload the landing separately as there seems to be a glitch in the file here.
