No. Still the same message.

John, when I click on the link I get "The topic or post you requested does not exist"

best to study the area where at least two people ended up dumped violently into the water?

I can't find this post of anyone landing in water?

Yes, the pilot posted the comments himself. One lesson learned from the video is that things can easily go quickly wrong. We often let members of the public get quite close to our take offs (and I am thinking more "Model Ridge" hear) Although we can't actually stop anyone standing near and...

We were on hill rigging the gliders and discussing where we were going to fly. One of the rigid wing flyers said he was going to fly down Mallerstang valley, then down Wensleydale, then down wind out of the Dales. I said I would fly out towards Barnard Castle and land on the coast near Horden becaus...

Hi Ron, flight is on 'latest' and 'hanglider' on our xc league.

Didn't notice you until just before you landed. ( I didn't see anyone else after about 8k from take off except for a sailplane straight lining the convergence ) I wished I had some photos with the cloud 2000' below, but I can't use my camera with gloves on, and it was too cold to take them off. Wher...

Where did you find out about Nev's flight? It's not on the UKNXC league.

Anyone had trouble getting the sites guide to open?

Does anyone else have a problem with the synoptic charts coming up? eg. T+0 T+12 T+24 etc.

.......and then when you book a days holiday in to go flying, it all turns to shit, and you end up wasting a valuable days holiday.

Yes, I remember 6:03 and 9:29 very well. Great day out and nice to know the chute works...eventually.

Guy Martin paragliding in India. On now Channel 4.

07824409743

Would like a lift if possible.

...........Oh, and the spreadsheet.

Thanks for the replies. Checked bank statement and payment has gone through.

Has anyone had confirmation of booking from Adrian?
Sent mine off, haven't heard anything yet.

We believe you

Just wondered, has anyone done this, as in this months Skywings, eg Kobo mini, gps unit and Xc soar?

Well done Ron and Kev. What were the conditions like?

I will be going, having a few beers, watching the band "On the Rocks" ( Dave Hume and co.) And camping over.
Next morning there is the chance to have a look at some of the aircraft, also vintage cars, have a cuppa and bacon sandwich. Some of the paramotors might be there also.

While trying to keep the weight of my flying kit below 15Kg for the hold baggage limit on a recent flight, I decided to put some of it including karabiners into my cabin baggage. When going through the X-ray machine at the airport, I was asked to open my bag. The 2 karabiners I had were confiscated....

it makes it possible for one person like mr Guthrie to walk away with the lot.

How about a new rule........... you can't win more trophies than you can carry.

I agree with Dave and others, that it would be a shame to mothball the hangliding trophies, or the memorial trophies. But how many hangliding members do we have left in the club? Is this likely to increase or decrease? Do we get the hours in, or the days out to hold a competetive league? Better put ...

The cliffs overlooking Famara maybe worth a closer look?

Yes a great site, I have done the 16 mile out and return there and also across to La Graciosa.

Hi Bill, Ed, in reply to "what's Lanzarote like for paragliding?" It tends to be days of strongish winds, then days on end of lightish winds. Most sites have decent top to bottom heights, so you can have several extended top to bottom flights in a day. We had some great thermaling days als...

Hi, was wondering if anyone was thinking of a winter flying holiday. Two of us up for it so far. Preferences are Lanzarote in January or Febuary. Anyone else interested?

Went there years ago and it was very nice ( 1st week in sept also ) It has take offs either side of a large flat valley, some ramp and some rounded grass slopes.
Unfortunately I wont now be going to France this year. Hope you have a good time.

Probs with pms also. Dave's taking his girlfriend to Spain again in Sept. Dave Hunter needs to put hols in 2 weeks before going, but can go anytime which is same for me. Bob can,t get away in Sept.
