I think i'm on the wrong bloody planet.

9/10 for effort Brian. 10/10 for the hilarious write up though.

Definately the parish of Cornhill according to the monument.

Must've driven past with my eyes shut.

First and foremost, to get the year through without breaking anything. To get at least 1 XC from a Cheviot site. Distance......Anything To get at least 2 XC from X-Fell. 1 of which is equal to or greater than Steve Gills. Again without breaking anything. And finally, to get the paragliding CP finish...

Please do not attempt to fly this site at the moment. See private section.

I'm in. I promise to log something this time.

Anyone got suggestions for good designs?

I think the glider rider is as good an idea as any Peter.
I used to have a contraption like this on an Astra estate. It did the job well but was a bigger faff than sticking the rider on the bonnet.

Brilliant bit of video

That's a good result. Well done.

Still feeling guilty not being able to make it so, if anybody is looking for a a 2yr old 6 string Tanglewood accoustic guitar, money to the club. Highest offer.

Nice one Mike. This has eaten into a lot of your own time and we appreciate it but it is definitely an asset to the club.

For any new or pilots to be watching this video, a helmet is recommended for any kind of ground handling.
There has been fatalities ground handling in the past due to the lack of headgear.

Probably be mid January. Numbers are about 7 or 8 at the moment. All hang gliders so far.

I get calls from Phil Woodhouse and John thomson when the weathers good and more recently Ross Sibbald is keen to get the hours in.
Contact from the new Hang glider members is happening.

One for every day of the week,and some. Only a phone call away. Give it a try.

No flying here for the next two weeks please.

Check with the Glider club, they might let you put up the rig on their hanger. They seem a friendly bunch of lads and lassies and i'm sure would benefit from the rig also.

Gives us mere mortals a better chance then

I'm in

Congratulations to you both. And happy birthday wee yin

It's also the East fortune air show so you tend to get a lot of traffic between the two shows.
Might be worth going to East hill just to watch the Catalina pass by

If you ever want an up close and personal with any of the heavy metal, just post a NOTAM at Moneylaws.
Guaranteed they will come around.

Just a reminder.
Mrs Liz Annett has given this number for her to be contacted before any flying on Moneylaws.

Only on the days i'm not working Colin.

I just wish i was as lucky on a Saturday with the Lottery.

I'm Knackered just reading about it never mind trying to run it.
Nice one Chris.

I keep deleting the bloody things as well.

Nearly everybody that turned out got airborne John. Nothing epic but both paragliders and the hang gliders flew with switching wind strengths and directions.
There's always tomorrow though

Coldsmouth hill might the place to be on Saturday if it stays North of West.

Graham, That is not the number in the private section for Mrs Annett.
I've spoken to her this evening and we are ok for Moneylaws Friday 13th June AFTER 1200hrs. See you there.

Well done Mr Wallis. A ballsie flight over the wilderness.

Welcome aboard Ross. See you on the hill soon.
