Polite reminder
I would remind everyone that MODEL RIDGE is currently at risk. We have had quite a few non members accessing and flying model ridge. We have, once again, been asked by the land owner to make sure everyone flying model ridge are members of the NYSC and have current BHPA membership. Please could you f...
When we were in Annecy there were few there. Somebody said 2000 VW's of all descriptions.

Ron, I'm afraid I can't take any glory for this, most of the hard work over the past few years has been done by John Lewis our sites officer. My understanding is that as part of the agreement there are strict rules regarding keys for the gate and we have to ensuring people who fly are aware of where...

The toys just keep getting better
Here is one for those days when you can't fly. How about a radio controlled plane with real time video feed to you on the ground. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrm3eqh9Yjk RC now doesn't look quite so dull. PG forum link if you haven't already seen it. http://www.paraglidingforum.com/viewtopic.php?...
