Would you like to elaborate please Gary?

Congratulations Chris. Quite an achievement.

Look on the bright side Brian. You could've been on Longknowe with the rest of us sheltering under hang gliders waiting for the showers to pass. Then after 4 hours of hiding, watch the wind sock steadily drift to a SW with clearing skies. Stu stevens flew down and casually remarked on conditions, &q...

Does anybody know anything about this weather station? Gusts up to 40mph on the Milfield gliding club site and 4mph at Glanton :???: http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=INORTHUM4 Or is it me not seeing something?

Scared the crap out of me just reading about it Chris.

Got to have been the best bit of lift on East hill this year though

rather than just turning up at a site as an unknown face & after a quick briefing being left to ones own devices like has happened to me at blease ! Henry, Phone the coaches when you've had a look at the forecasts and made your best guess. The lads and lassies in this club are helpful and exper...

Mark Dale never mentioned this in the BHPA handbook

That's not funny John

I'm working that area tomorrow.

Just don't expect a retrieve from the Scania with the flintstones on the front of it.

Just leave your vario on the doorstep John.

So here's the stupid question, why was it changed in the first place?

Stu, myself and a couple of Johns are gonna try Hownam Law. Coldsmouth as a fallback. Hang gliding of course.

the initial surge.... ie canopy surges back

especially the really pokey ones

canopy is surging forward

I'd be heading for the bottom landing John

Saw this on the OZ report. Ramón Morillas took off today at dawn from Jerez (Cádiz, Spain) and flew to Los Realejos in Tenerife (Canary Islands). He had to change course in order to find stronger winds. He landed at 21:40 pm in Lanzarote after 14:40 hours. He had flown a total distance of 1.100 km. ...

Model ridge is a North Yorks site Graham.
I'm sure somebody including some of the coaches will be on the coastal sites over the weekend.

Have a listen to this. MP3 of an overworked ground controller at JFK.

Tenner from me too John.

Good one Ian Do you get extra points for a cross border flight?

Wether Fell sounds good to me.

If you look at the files on GPS dump Alan, it shows when you start and stop the unit.

Steve......................... you have a talent.

I've just recovered from a fit of uncontrollable laughter reading this. My dog thinks i'm frickin'nuts!

I think too many Buds might've helped the laughter sensors also.

But to drive to East hill via X-fell? That must have hurt the Dog

I agree with Naomi on this. Time seemed to rocket past an me thinking it was going to be relatively easier. Thinking about some of the Q's i know i've answered wrongly on the ones i can remember. Many thanks to Ian, Alistair x2, john for their time and preparation put into this. See you in 4 months ...

I dont think this camera has any better res. than your mobile phone has now a days.
Go for the 4Kam 520 tv quality and plug into your cam.
