John my memory fails me these days but I do remember a few flights. The good dragging I got in the compression zone on east hill. Lesson learned - no matter how much fun you're having - never ever forget if you take your eye off the ball the wind will come and bite a huge chunk out of your big flesh...

Sorry to be a bore but I agree with the point John - and Gordon - originally made at the meeting. That pilot of the month should be awarded on merit only - and not for bloopers like being dragged etc. I know the award is just a bit of fun but it could also perhaps become a little more inclusive and ...

Typically Anth was a bit unsure about receiving an online whip round but has eventually gratefully accepted that any donations made will help towards his immediate basic needs. His bank account details are hsbc 40-34-18 / acc number 92109190. Below is a photo of the pins in his foot before it was pu...

i was hoping the club account could be used to collect a whip-round then total proceeds at say end of this month are transferred to Anths account? Should be a simple enough online process using a bank payment reference of something like 'Anth? Or if you prefer cash maybe you could give it to someone...

Fellow pilot from Newcastle injured.
I was in Ager last week with my good buddy Anth Braidford from Forest Hall. We both had a great week until Friday morning when Anth landed hard and broke his right foot badly. Anth passed his CP a couple of years ago when working for grasmere YHA. He then moved over to the Alps where he worked as a ...

NHPC Italy was a great little holiday in many different ways but unfortunately it's fair to say the weather wasn't on our side. Huge areas of low pressure in a high altitude mountain range with low cloud base meant we were clagged in, chasing the wind or sitting it out lots of the time but we all st...

Sorry about the late reply - for some reason your posts aren't triggering emails to notify me. The AA arrived that quickly (15min max) I didn't get a chance to speak to the farmer as I was on the phone arranging relay and with John Wallis etc then steering my car when it was being towed. There was a...

Track up East Hill
For anyone who doesn't have a 4X4 - like me anymore 😃 Be careful when driving up the East Hill track to the parking area. On Monday about 3 quarters of the way up the track I slipped into the tracks and my underside hit a rock in the ridge in the middle of the track cracking my oil sump and snapping...
