Can some one please tell me on John Wallis post what does it mean. John Wallis simply transfers the ownership of the domain to the club. Free and very easy for him to do, but only he can do it. The renewal then comes to the club which can be easily renewed, usually yearly or two yearly. Allowing it...

Loaning out a £400 item will sooner or later be broken or lost, very easy to do. This to me = a load of hassle, red tape and possible awkwardness when someone who cant afford to buy there own GPS/vario and busts this £400 item, what happens then? Why do these items need to be a loan? I remember havi...

It matters to me as I still have great friends in this club. I still like the sport and I still like this club. Its been some time but the same rules apply, 22 mph was always an iffy safety line to cross. The wings have not improved as far as I know to cross it. Do what ever you like, no one can sto...

It's ok, because no doubt these are ALL very unskilled, inexperienced.

22 mph has been stated as the max flyable wind now what if.... the air mass is unstable, the direction of the wind is variable, the pilot is inexperienced, they are light or heavy on their glider, the glider is a beginner or advanced glider, they are by the coast or in the mountains, there is or is...

Fingers..... Why are you asking Ali about wind strength. Why don't you enlighten us with your experience? Is it not ok to ask Ali about wind strength? Is it not ok the talk about wind strength with anyone? I mentioned wind strength, once but I think I got away with it. Are you in politics? Getting ...

Are you suggesting wind speed goes up the more experienced you are? If so please tell the beginner what this scale of wind speed is? Is anyone prepared to suggest an unsafe wind speed, I feel sure the BHPA would have a figure to quote. Of course anyone can do what they want, but what happened to loo...

So what might seems nuts for some, might be safe for others. Base jumpers, wing suit jumpers and those Russians who like hanging from bridges and cranes say the same no doubt. Its all safe till shit happens and in paragliding it does, more than it should if new flyers come into a club where they se...

Looks to me for fear of offending, no one from the club dare stick there neck out and state a wind speed where its advisable for your health not to get the washing out. Its all down to skill, experience and how much your willing to push your luck. Not much point in discussing safety then, possibly w...

Saturday was a day for experienced pilots, who are confident on launch. Ok Ron had a problem but he dealt with it. It was clearly a day for flying even though I was pinned at trim , I could go anywhere on speed bar. This is a very grey area almost like a black art, which it shouldn't be. For me, an...

Learning from others mistakes is the only way to make flying safer. EVERY incident should be documented, in anal detail and publicly available. Blown back in high wind. Dragged after poor launch. Pulling your reserve. Landing in a tree. Landing down wind. Landing in water! Got caught out without a B...
