Wednesday 8th August

Post by Anonymous »

Morning all, please see my 1st post here; http://www.nhpc.org.uk/nhpc/viewtopic.php?t=2409

Today looks a bit strong but tomorrow looks alright with a northerly switching easterly as the day progresses. Is anyone thinking of going out tomorrow?

I'm free all day, if nothing else I'd like to visit a site and sit in the sunshine.

26 views and no reply, is that because:

a) You don't think tomorrows conditions are right for the sites you fly

or

b) You've all got to work tomorrow and you're just jealous coz it's gonna be an epic 300km plus day.

Since b's is, in all honesty quite unlikely can anyone clue me in.

Maybe the changeable weather of late is putting people off making a decision, together with the underestimated wind speeds of late.
However, I'm thinking positively, possibly Model Ridge, but only the morning will tell!
See you out there!!!!!

Sorry Matty..... I wasnt meaning to ignore you..... just that I am chained to a desk tomorrow.......

Andrew Maltby should be out and about. Give him a ring! I know he is off work Wednesday Thursday and Friday.

I have kept Thursday afternoon clear in my diary, based on the Weatherjack 5 rating. May be a day to be at Model!

Big thanks to everyone I've spoken to so far!

I'm going to try to make my way to model ridge in the morning unless the forecast does something strange in the next few hours.

My mobile number is 07738 198 766, I fly a Red Z-One with a black Charly helmet.

Here's hoping anyway,

I’ve also managed a day off tomorrow, definitely up for heading out and as Paul is tied up until the afternoon I’ll be out and about on my own.

See you at Model Ridge.

not fair all this talk about flying as i think i am committed to work tommorow and physio. but after all i am the boss so you never know. it does seem to be forcasting cloud down the east coast so iwould not rule out the coast if it gets to windy, as lately 9mph seems to be 29 so good look wih the flying and with a bit of look i have got men working at norton and stokesley and they may need checking.

it could be good it could be epic it also could be blown out?

we have a kow to the left and right of us and what can happen is it will squeeze what wind we have and make it a lot stronger. also at the moment it is wnw at madel at 6-16 so already quite fresh so be there early wait for the skys and be ready for orbit.

am i bitter of coarse not i hope its wonderfull , well that is if i can make it

Well thanks to everyone. Got there and some form off anti-gravitiy effect. Some might call it skilled flying, but I'm not one of them!

There's a vicious rumor about tomorrow. I'll be there about midday to prat about on takeoff again.

If yer ever in the West Mudlands, give us a ring.

ar kid.
