Just to put a slight dampner on things these aren't actually the Salomon Paragliding boots. They look a bit like them but do not have the same ankle support and protection as the originals.
Nice boots though for the price all the same

Have fun!!

Err I think I know that Bob thankyou!! Just put that other link up as extra info for those that like these sort of things as quite a few do. If you take the time to log onto the site you will see that it offer's a lot more besides Notams. Probably more of interest to those that regularly fly XC i.e....

This is a good little link for very quick access to notams valid now and over the next 24hours country wide. It requires a very quick free registration first.
See what you think!!

I can't see what good naming and shaming will do it's his decision to fly or not.

Fair point John. He'll learn the hard way hopefully!!

So if you are interested in getting a lot more flying in and are not chasing silverware! then why not come along and see what it's all about. Pie n Peas supper on Saturday night as usual all welcome but if you don...

P.S. Yesterday around Drax

first days flying became the most terifying experience as the wind picked up to 30 on the top and left me shiting myself trying to get down. first time for me. All joking aside it doesn't sound like the kind of weather for a first flight back after a very serious accident to me!!!! Be carefull plea...

When it gets too windy(For me around 18-20mph on my windy meter) I put my Paragliding wing away(Nova Syntax) and get out my Paramotoring wing and carry on flying( if im that desterate!). These wings are designed to be faster than free flying wings but have fairly crap glide performance as a conseque...

Here is a live link to the weather station at the Yorkshire Gliding club at Sutton bank for those that like these sort of things. It's not far from Model Ridge or the Dales so may be good to give it a quick glance when trying to make decisions

Only joking Steve!!! There has been a fair few little windows to get some flying in but mainly on evenings and easy done when I can fly from the field over the road!! However i'd be getting me hopes up for Thursday of this week if I were you!! We'll see how the forecast develops over the next day or...

I've had plenty of flying lately on the Paramotor. There's been a window of opportunity on most days to get some airtime in. You guy's should come over to the dark side you know you want to!!!!! (chuckle) (chuckle) Never mind forecast is for more of the same all week!!! Cheers Chief Tosser (rofl) (r...

Are you a coach Ian?!!!!

You should not have been out at all that day. You have been very lucky! Get the met books out again(or for the first time!!) and study hard. You need to always be aware of the type of airmass you are flying in and avoid Cu Nimbs by at least 25 MILES A little bimble backwards and forwards along a hil...

Is the guy in this photo with no helmet and therefore uninsured by the BHPA one of our members or one of yours Gordy?!!!!

Hi Mike,Is that for similar reasons to ourselves Yes I believe so, not that the club is that "web" orientated. One site, for example, the landowner insists on having a photo of the underside of every members wing who flies there so he has an idea of who it is whilst he is watching from hi...
