Thanks Ron that is what i was after as i do think it is one of them places where the first climb is the hardest then as you go further inland it improves. From what i seen and tried on HG you can core very small and a good pilot like yourself on HG would get in very small cores. No doubt the modern ...

I don't doubt they were done its more a case of how often and percentages, there is no doubt there is a special technique to getting away from small hills. As you will see from my flight tp and east hill. It seems on every occasion you have to leave the hill very low and drift where normally you wou...

If we did not have lambing closures then i am sure we would see more cross country in the cheviots but as they shut this is a problem. Considering how many times we fly east hill cloud base has rarely been achieved and cross country also and i believe i have got the site record. I think its a great ...

Tuesday may be a chance to fly again
Certainly looks like the lakes have been given a lot in the last few days and some doing over 40k. Tomorrow could be anything from no wind to a good day on xfell or even dair a say it TP after 1-2pm. So i may try and have a quick flight if the the the forecasts and web cams come togeather

Getting flying and how if you want the most you need to trav
Yesterday sound like probably the best flying for 6-7 months with pilots up at cloud base 1200m yet no nhpc. I ask why as if I had been out this weekend there would of been a van full in the lakes flying. Why because I not only check weather i ring people check weather cams etc as it takes more than...

Cross fell may just be a option tomorrow
It's starting to look like there may be a chance to get some good ridge runs in tomorrow if the forecast is right. A day to stay out front but it could just see cross fell do its magic as wsw is when it happens

Lords seat *CLOSED*
Well the wind is now south to south east going ssw so lords seat is the place to go if we can fly. I know Lordenshaw may well work but I don't want to turn up on mass so soon after getting it back when there is other alternatives. Will give the farmer a ring to see if we are good to fly and post on ...

Well from no hope to pottential
Well its one of them where we will have to wait until the morning, but there is now looking like a good chance of flying in the tomorrow. The weather is very changeable but it is looking flyable if we can get a true wind and direction. Hoping for old Berwick but may well change to CC tailbridge lake...

The problem is hownam SW face is not a great soaring site and it was looking very windy for hownam. Also for me it takes just under 2 hours to get to hownam from blyth. Also it is tough going for my van to get up there as not always without for food off road tires. Until you fly Tinto south in winte...

Weekend may not be a total right off
I think tomorrow it may be possible for a window to fly but maybe not worth the bother.
However Sunday may well be an ok day on Blease fell though as per usual it will have to wait until Saturday night or Sunday morning to make my choice.
Cheers Gary
