Hi Glenn, it's the hero Go Pro HD - Last year's Christmas present to myself

Did a little reading on a forum and you can't buy cheap SD cards for video cameras - they corrupt easily

Gotta buy a new card.

Drink white, it doesn't stain!!

For those of you who didn't drive from the East coast to the West on the 24th - you missed a really crakin' day. Some of the best flying I've ever done.

There's also a bit of a description on the CSC site. Hope you enjoy.

These are great videos. So much fun to see our shared weekend from so many different perspectives and angles. Really COOL! Even though you can't be in the A, B comps and coaching and acro all at the same time it is great to see the fun that everyone had together. Loved the speed flying vid Chris. Fe...

Hi Brian D,

Great pics!

Still enjoying the weekend's great flying and friends.

CU on the hills,

Hi, I'm trying out different apps. I've got: Motionx - which I like so far. iMapMyFitness - eh, ok. and just downloaded the free version of Memory Map. But I've found a new one that looks good and can export an IGC file called livetrack24lite: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/livetrack24lite/id3240217...

Thanks to all the organisers. Great weekend.

Also thanks to Chris and Jan for allowing me to charge me phone in their camper and Ron for the ride to the top and the retrieve - whoever that was - much appreciated.

I appreciate the discussion. I have only flown the coast (Lowca) once and probably could easily end up being a "follower" on a new coastal site someday.

Good discussion here and points well taken.

Thanks again.

Well, I got one. Now I have loads of questions for any of you who have been using one for a while. 1. I downloaded MotionX. Looks good. Now I'm downloading loads of the topo maps to use with it. Takes forever. Any advice on using it would be appreciated. Can we get a valid IGC file from it? From thi...

Always thought I wanted to do SIV at Olu, but I think I'll choose a less crowded place.

very interested, but out of the country

Can someone educate me on Welsh culture? Is this typical?

He says it himself, "completely stupid". I feel sorry for the wife of 18 years - unless she's got lots of life insurance out on him.

Just checked the forum, Glad I didn't drive over from Carlisle to hear Gordie's talk.

So what is the date for his talk next month? 3 March?

Brian

Nice one Jan. Nice choice of music too - matches the images well.

Now for the new toy:

Fancy flying with one of these?

I like expensive toys, but I've not shelled out for this one yet. Hoping my office will do the same soon. Meanwhile, I'm also interested in apps for my PDA. So I come across different things:

http://www.imapmy.com/

http://www.memory-map.co.uk/iphone/ - I use a version of this on my PDA works well.

I've always prayed for all our safety when out and about. Guess what? I'll pray more!

I think I'll look into getting first aid certified too.

I'd like to come too, but I have no idea where. Can someone give me directions? And what time?

Brian

Where was this shot?

Awesome! Good job Jan. What a great way to spend Christmas - speedflying with your hubby.

What fun.

So what kind of wing was it since it wasn't your 15m Bobcat? I couldn't recognise it.

Can't - just spent it last night on a Hero HD Go Pro

Watch out Gordie, see if I can make some movies.

:D :D :D Brian, you must fight this at every turn, this whole financial responsibility thing. Men and responsibility dont mix well, we are born children and should be allowed to remain so, use your guile, you can do it. Good luck mate :D So far so good! I have a $200 gift certificate from my brothe...

Wow. Incredibly beautiful.

I too am looking forward to the talk, especially since I missed the first version - wonder if you'll change it any after this forum or present things in a different perspective? I'm still asking Santa for Chris' bobcat, but I don't think it's going to happen. My lovely wife is turning the management...

While browsing the Gencoe Mountain website I came across this: SOS Glencoe - Save our Skiing http://www.glencoemountain.co.uk/ "We have opened an online petition today. The intention is to demonstrate the level of support for skiing, snowboarding and winter activities to continue at Glencoe. We will...
