How far do I need to sticky-jump for the 'Highland Fling' achievement? - Brown Wooden Blocks With Number 8

I've been trying to earn the achievement 'Highland Fling' by sticky-jumping as far as I can, however the description is a little vague as to how far I need to travel:

Highland Fling Achievement: Sticky jump a really long way...

So how far exactly do I need to travel? Is there a place/map that makes earning this achievement easier?



Best Answer

Thanks to the video provided by mhsjlw, I was able to finally figure out how to earn this achievement. My problem was I wasn't using enough sticky bombs and thus wasn't getting enough force to propel myself the distance.

Unlike the video, I earned it on Dustbowl, by flinging from the top-right entrance to BLU's spawn, to the cliffs in the diagonally opposite corner:

BLU spawn entrance

Place your stickies about here, and aim for the cliffs. Remember to jump and crouch midair. Placing Stickies, aiming for cliffs

It took me a while to get an action shot: Flying!

The achievement should unlock just as you hit the cliffs. (I didn't even die!)
