Don't forget the music festival. That is a monumental piss up

Well Done Johnny boy

A mammoth undertaking amid the poor conditions.

I'm in

The fact that Colin recognises why it went pear shape is the important part is it not? A student who walks away without the understanding of the incident is the one to worry about. I'm confident that a majority of pilots in their first year have had an "oh shit" experience, but never made ...

That's a pretty impressive triangle especially the last leg.

Where did you get to Dave?

Maybe i'm just being stupid here but I cant find the sticky! (whats a sticky?: When you click on the pub section there are two announcements at present at the top of the page. One for Johns charity canoe excursion around the islands and one for the 2008 lambing dates. Also check this site that Mike...

Information on closed sites is not easy to find on the Northumbria page however and takes a lot of hunting, leaving messages etc to find which sites are available. Peter, at the top of the page there is a "sticky" announcement for lambing dates. If any of the sites were to close for any o...

Who has given permission Mr Waugh or the Gamekeeper?

Stuart

I would assume the one who issues the contract for the dykes to be rebuilt.

Brilliant reading Paul. well done.

It's all about "who" you know John.
I suppose in the defence of the land owner/gamekeeper they could argue one paraglider isn't going to upset very much.

Steve Truwick has been contacted by a drystane dyker who would like it to be known, he has sole permission to fly Cumrew. obviously working closely with landowners, farmers and gamekeepers has its benefits. He is not a member of NHPC. So, if you see someone flying there, don't assume it's ok for you...

Using an old '80 Yamaha SR500 for work averaging 72.8 MPG.
Road tax for year £48
Fully comp ins for year £69

Riding in the snow's a bitch though!

Well done Paul. A great achievement.

Can you recommend a company or package? Apart from the BHPA

The Gold cover on this company Steve

That doesn't add too much on John, it's the HGV driving that sticks a 'muckle whack' onto the bottom line

Is anybody about to renew their insurance and if so is it worth thinking about the group discount again?

Peter, Have a word with Chris Foster about the video camera whilst flying. He's an old pro ( ) at it.

Put me down John but, the first bloody free download ringtone offer i get and i'm out of it.

Hoping to be flying by end of May so if you're short on numbers i'm in.

There used to be a lad in the club called Craig Eblett who drove Mad Dog up X-Fell in his Rav 4. I don't think it had a low range gearbox and he had a distinct burning clutch smell once he got to the top.
Definately need something with an extra low gear or an auto box.

That's a little gem you found there John.
Air on 'G' string by Mr J Bach makes it sound like a relaxing and effortless manoevre.
Rimsky-Korsakov's flight of the bumble bee is more appropriate in my experience

Well done Chris. A couple of great pics as well.

After i've paid of my mortgage invested another third and i return from my round the world cruise Ron, i'll buy you a half.

Seriously though, A nice surprise in the post for a change.

Dave was on the phone tonight John, he and Alan made it to Skinningrove and back but apparently Ronnie did some "classy" O&R on the Target. Just have to grin and bare it. Our time will come John.

Cockle Park good ol' days.
