cheers al

spoke to ali and he said neil did about 30k and ali did about 90k landing at pontefract because he was unsure of air space around doncaster. but he said it looked like it was a possible site record day (145k) if he had managed to find and stay in the doncaster gap. top effort none the less and well ...

i understand your point mike but wether you or i or anyone else thinks the lady at the bottom is a bit over the top or just down right unreasonable. is rather irrelevant, its her land and she decides who if anyone at all fly's there so the bottom line is, abide by the rules or fly else where as this...

hi kitt we have a small site that takes sw called captain cooks, near great ayton on the northern edge of the moors. looking at rasp it should be on there at some point tomorrow, limited xc though as the site record is 34km by ali guthrie to just past whitby, and that was with a lot of cross wind fl...

well i think it is no doubt about the pilot of the month for july, i nominate mister guthrie. i must admit to being quite suprised when i logged on this evening expecting to read all about it and hardly a mention to be found. i would have thought you lot would have been shouting it from the roof top...

hi all, just to let you know that we have a cool new web site www.nysc.org.uk its been done by one of our pilots martin, it looks great and unlike the old one is very easy to use so go have a look. the xc talk was postponed on monday due to the snow and will now be on the 2nd of march, 8pm at lordst...

well with my wife due to give birth to our first child in 4 weeks, at this moment i would settle for just getting out. but that is probably lacking ambition and as i now have a nice shiny new wing it would be a shame to leave it in the cupboard. so for 2009 some good weather, some good crac, and som...

hello the geordies. just to let you know that we are having a xc night at our monthly meeting on the first monday in feb, at lordstones cafe 8pm. it is aimed at pilots wanting to do there first xc,rather than a lecture it is a discussion for everyone to join in and share there xc experience for ever...

are you as good as the glider you fly? who knows, everyone is different. we all do what we are comfortable with. but the problem isn't a height one, its not even a problem at all. the real trick is to fly the optimum wing at the maximum of your abilities and no further to get the maximum enjoyment. ...

cool, very cool

there has been an awful lot of rubbish written and spoken about the events of the weekend in the press. very little has been said of the individuals responsibility, no one held a gun to there head and made them compete. if you fly in a competition you are told the responsibility to fly when a task i...
