A chance to get together for a day out or a long weekend if the weather plays ball !!

Now we have a bit more freedom, the odd social get together could be interesting. Although the corner House is a little awkward to get to, maybe somewhere near the A1 would be easier, Blaydon rugby club, the skiff Inn swalwell, the ravensworth arms lamesley or the Toby carvery Kenton bank, food for ...

Great weekends flying at the Grasmere based LCC, with a half dozen nhpc members involved, Frist time I've flown all three days over the weekend since I started entering in 2014, due to poor weather, bad luck or poor timing, but as always a great weekend whatever the weather, fingers crossed for next ...

Arrived on humbelton just after Lee had landed, continue on up the hill to find mark and John enjoying the afternoon sunshine, a bit of banter, then as forecast, the wind picked up and it was time to fly, John was first off followed by Mark, quickly gaining a bit night. We all enjoyed sailing round ...

Just wondering if anyone fancies forming/joining a WhatsApp or Telegram group, for the sole purpose of getting together to tackle the northern trophy challenge (NTC). The idea been to pick the best site for the weather conditions and sharing the transport, as the challenges are well spread over the ...

Been so close to the north sea, most of our sites are influenced by the sea breeze, after a pleasant pint in Rothbury and discussion about the flying from Hogdon law on Wednesday, how can we extract the most flying from our sites with the forecasting available, taking off around midday it was ...

Heading to low scar, hopefully to complete a n.c.t task or two

Heading to lakes about 9:30 for horsley

Heading out about 10:00

looks like you had a grand day out,

Great but censor the ending

Keeping an eye on it and the day free

a bit on the extravagant side, hopefully club fees won't go up

Interesting flying at cookies today, just about a vertical take off a harrier jump jet would be proud of to a fly pass from the RAF, a reasonable boat about for half an hour before having to get on the speed bar to push forward and land out front, before handing to the pub for two points of larger ...

As it's passing near by to our region this year, I'm thinking of going over to the lakes midweek, as the challenge passes through Cumbria and cycling alongside in support,
If anyone fancies it message me, mobile numbers below.
Cheers

What a grand couple of days flying for October, tailbridge Thursday and Clough today.
A good turn out for Tony and covered by the BBC look north tonight.

Aiming for the lakes Friday, light winds but fingers crossed it's sunny as forecast and thermic, as for tomorrow hopefully low scar will be flyable, if not then probably push on to swinside.

headed west to southern fell yesterday, the main aim been to test fly my wing after a service and retrim, the results where quite noticeable in a positive way,
Worth the expense and missing out on a couple of possible flying days.

Cheers Chris, adds a challenge

One eye on the west for Sunday
All change, nothing stays the same for long, making a forecast on flyability more than 12 hours in advance has been a gamble lately,
The forecast now gives the east side a slim chance now,
Let's see what happens over the next 24 hours

Cheers John, I do enjoy reading your post, I should make it my new years Resolution write up a few lines or take up swimming, although I don't think I'll get a pond to myself as I had the Bell to myself on Saturday apart from a wave and fly pass from a sail plane.
Cheers

good to hear you walk away from a such a scary episode, enjoy the rest of your adventure, thanks for the post

I was going to suggest southerly fell, but on looking at site guide it has a red closed notice, so it maybe east hill

Aiming to be out, xfell still looking ok

Still looking at getting out tomorrow, but as yet no one site standing out as the place to be here in the north, by morning in maybe a bit clearer

Tuesday looking wet again, still have hopes for Wednesday

Tuesday captain cooks
Wednesday xfell / low scar
Fingers crossed

It's a tough sport in many ways, but if you get get a £ for every ounce of disappointment you felt

Hopefully getting the month of to a flying start,
thinking melmeby low scar about mid day,
