Nice one Ron. Lynne was wondering how you managed to get it down to only two pages. She was expecting a ten page supliment.

For Sale, my Mentor 2 (Large). Approx 120 hrs. Serviced this year, two lines replaced, everything else OK. Always concertina packed. Comes with xcertina bag, unused glider bag.

Something on Facebook: Called Dan Moore "Becky Moore" Thank you so so much Martin! You saved his life! He is as ok as can be expected. He has very very badly shattered his leg, arm and broken knuckles. He had surgery last night to try and fix his arm and leg, he now had a metal frame on his leg to ...

Hope they are OK.

Hi All, I see that my accident has sparked quite a discussion... Firstly just to let you know I am recovering at home. I have a fracture of my T12 vertebrae and an elbow that needed a plate to put it back together. Currently in a body brace during the day. I should have full movement of the elbow ...

Just spotted another one from 11th. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-19226465

I saw a brief news report about a paraglider pilot crashing at the weekend see: http://www.grough.co.uk/magazine/2012/1 ... head-crash
Any idea how they are?

31?

Name them please? ALL of them....

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 ...

John,

I got one recently, due to being too fat for my old wing, and I love it. Stress free flying and great performance. I fly a large at 122kg all up. Did my PB on my first flight on it. Wasn't shamed against the hot ships at the Nationals, kept up with a small Mantra M4 on long glide.

When we were in Annecy there were few there. Somebody said 2000 VW's of all descriptions.

I did try. I took the climb on Clough for that very reason. Never mind had an unforgettable flight.

"especially those that have fallen foul of the height loss rule 3metres is a tough lesson"

That was me. Gutted!

See section 3.8.

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 ...

I have not seen anything on your forum, you may already be aware but if not: Due to new arrangement with the land owners, Carlton Bank is now a NYSC members only site. After a massive effort over the past few years we have once again gained access to the road up and the takeoff. So please join and ...

Well I suspect it won't be long before we are reading ANOTHER short piece somewhere about the tragic death of another speedflying pilot. I can see the skill involved but every time I watch this sort of thing I seem to spend half the video frowning and lifting my feet off the ground whilst sat on the ...

Steve I'm with you. They all frighten the sh*t out of me, caged or not. Particularly when operated by uninsured people "training" on busy sites near members of the public. Got that off my chest :lol: I've got it, fit it with a 10M long prop and I'd have a go. Maybe you could have it underslung and ...

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 ...

Does it come with 5 sets of spare lines

Looks like I'm not the only one who can't understand you lot


Meet the man paid to translate the Geordie dialect http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/tyne/hi/fro ... 276057.stm

Looks very lifty in the middle of the field. Was that one of those clouds Ron mentioned?

Last seen grovelling about the bottom of a cliff near Saltburn

Brian, We did a package last March and stayed here: http://www.hotel-glueckauf.at/Willkommen.html Nice place near town centre, but far enough away to be quite, with a physio next door :) Useful.

Thanks for making me cry laughing. Not enjoyed a posting that much that didn't involve taking the p%ss out of Gary.

Is this it Ron?

That picture was only last week.

As was this:



Does anybody have a tandem to sell? For me to fly solo!!!

Ron,

Well done.

If you come down this weekend I expect you to fly with that hat on!!!

No hat no flying!!!
