Wow! Hadn't got you down as one of them new-fangled adrenaline junkies Jan. Now Mr Hurtle - that's a different matter altogether, always had suspicions that he'd transfer over to the dark side. Brilliant video, keep 'em coming, it's helping me retain the will to live at the moment, I bet you didn't ...

A freezing fly-down
Nice slabby snow on the east side of Clough Head provided light entertainment for rather longer than desired for three of us who "enjoyed" a climb up to the top before an extremely cold fly down. Good job it wasn't soarable as it would have taken more than a bit of antifreeze in the blood....

Alpine day on Blencathra
Deep snow made for a slog up Blease and an interesting range of launch styles on Monday. But those who dared were rewarded with a spectacular soaring flight

Flying Burnbank Fell 8th November
Burnbank delivered a surprising load of goodies last Sunday :) Here's a short video - it was quite exciting at times but of course they are precisely the times I didn't fancy holding the camera so I didn't capture the more "challenging" moments :roll: http://vimeo.com/7535206 Anyway, enjoy!

Really interesting posts here guys, here's my experience from the day. I arrived at Grasmere about 2.30 I think, scratched on the N end of Alcot Tarn for a few minutes as it was obvious from the traditional bumpy ride down past Seat Sandal that the wind was off to North, before deciding to land in t...

Grasmere Show - everyone flew
Well I don't know what Chris Field sacrifices to the gods every year - but given the dire forecast this year, it must have been pretty special :D Everyone got at least one flight in, some of us even managed to stay on our feet in the spot landing field, and the best height gain from launch was Brian...
