Funnily enough the LLSC guys said 143.950 was looking like it was going to become the preferred freq for the whole of Scotland too so about to get even busier!!!!

Hi All,

I just bought a new radio - never had one before!!
What list of frequencies would you suggest I program it with..........

Dave.

Cheers for sharing here Chris.
Angus - you should get one........
They're the MOST fun you can have - with your clothes on!! LoL

D.

If - and just now it's a big if - but if I got the chance to head out to Chamonix for a long weekend of speedflying this coming September, where would be the suggested accommodations??
Flights are about £100 return - so if the accommodation price is right who knows????

Thanks in advance
Dave.

I'm pretty sure St Abbs has been flown before by Quentin of the LLSC/SMPC. I'm sure he mentioned that he's related to the land owner......

Brilliant Gordy,
Love it.

Beach jumps - WoopWoop...........

A BOBCAT 16.5m
Weather must be my fault then..........

Cheers all. Yeah Jim, the flying sounds amazing though I have a mate up here in Scotland who hates the place - purely because of the hectic take-offs and ignorant skygods!! (He has over 4000hrs in !!!!) Might be just too busy in all the regular places. He's suggested heading to a few quieter sites. D.

Thanks both,

Yeah Jim, I'll keep an eye out for ya though I dunno if we've met - maybe at an LCC ?? Maybe along with Chris & Jan??
I'm gonna be there with the family at some point over the first 2 weeks of Aug.

John, I'll take a look at those sites - cheers.

Dave.

Hi All, Haven't been around here for ages but was wondering if any of you guys can help. I'm off to Annecy this summer as part of a Euro Tour and have left it too late to book a camp site. Didn't want to plan too far ahead - !! Does anyone have experience of arriving in the area with nothing booked....

Cheers Ali.
Got loadsa stuff to check out now..........

Can't wait already !!!!

Cheers guys.
Chris, I'll give you a bell in the "not too distant" and you can fill me in.
Ali - defo interested in the link you mentioned.

Keep the good info coming guys.

Cheers

Hi All, A while since I've posted on here but you're always loaded with info so I'm here to ask for advice. I'm thinking of a family holiday to Annecy next year (unfortunately this years holidays are already in the past). Does anyone have recommendations for good campsites, kids activities, flying s...

I can vouch for them.
Had a Goretex jacket tested/repaired and a couple of rucksacks repaired.

Definately interested.
Will depend on work diary but hopefull........

Geoff - dunno mate - all seems too secretive for me!!
Colin - cheers for the sensible answer.
Richard - I always wondered what went on up there in them hills????

OH!
That's handy for any non-members who were thinking of attending Gordy's talk - Cheers............

Hi
I guess this is intended for Chris/Jan.

Is Gordy gonna give his talk next week or has it been delayed again. I think I saw a post saying something about leaving it till April - Right??

Dave.

Nice vid's Gordie. Nevis Range looked a bit "thin". I'm guessing all the snow's in the East. I thought you were off to Glenshee? Glencoe looks awesome - definately for the more adventurous skier. Only time I've been there the viz was about 3yds.......... But it was fully open!! Could even ...

As an ex-skydiver, (along with Chris and Jan), I've said before on this forum, the injuries suffered by this guy are or WERE unfortunately very common in skydiving circles. A move onto smaller more "radical" canopies led to this - I've even heard of canopies being cut from dead bodies and ...

You could also get along to Ratho climbing arena on 16th/17th Jan for the LLSC's "Gathering" and throw your reserve inside whilst riding the zipwire!?!?!?!?

Ohhhh soooooooooo funny.
Show ya's both a thing or 2 up there - if you're lucky

Cheers Colin and Chris,
I have contacted Terry to see about maybe even a lift share with him and Geoff's offered a bed for the night.

I think it'll be a good night.......

Hey Chris.
Happy NewYear.

The talk by Gordie/Terry sounds good.
Are visitors/non-members welcome?

There's a slim but possible chance I could make it down!!

D.

Chris mate, looked good - better luck next time BUT be carefull out there man!
That mountain's killed afew - you gotta be ready for Mother Nature up there in the winter!!!!
Having said that - Where was my invite????

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice !!!!!!!!

To those I've met and those I've still to meet,
Have a bloody great Xmas and an even better 2010.

Look forward to meeting and learning from you all.
D.

Nice Buddy - the 13.5 looks good but Jans 18 looks more "comfortable"......
I'll have a shot and decide?
