Brilliant Well done Paul for filming whilst doing the actual course and being able to speak Mont Ventoux is one of my favourite Tour de France stages " TO WATCH" Well done to all that took part Brian can i lend your book i've lost mine Peter r.

Well done to all the team for a camarduwie(sic) walk for a good cause . Looking forward to reading the final write up. So glad the weather didn't dampen your spirits. Nice to read the wine went down well(even on the train home) Hope the bus driver was on time today? peter r.

Excuse me while i explain Ali's reluctance to do a write up . I think you all underestimate your own ability for xc flight. Ali knows he is only trying to keep up with the NHPC xc crew who fly 110% whenever they are out and take whatever distance they can achieve.( which is always good) he just chan...

Well done Jim ,don't knock yourself . Just think how far you'll get when make the right decisions. Nothing wrong with your flight (except media coverage) good write up aswell. Peter r

Nice one Jim, as you will see on the link John looks like a very good menu.I like the free beer if you finish the mixed grill, but for the price you should get one anyway . Lets hope for more S'westerlies. Peter r.

Good news for cross fell flyers and real ale drinkers. The Shepherds Inn re-opens today. It is to be run by the co-operative from Hesket Newmarket brewery.Such favourites as Doris'90th and Old Carrock Strong Ale amongst others from their fine collection. peter r

No words can explain the feelings of loss at this time and i'm sure i'm not the only one to shed more than one tear for a good friends loss .Really really sorry for your loss. peter r

In my opinion this pilot is enjoying a coastal flight in a very flatland area and if it was frowned upon it would have been deleted by the club that runs the local area. Yes he was too close to the houses ,but he wasn't hanging about . He covered quite a bit of ground in 4'53 minutes of video. This ...

Phoned the hospital and the nurse says he is up and about .He is getting checked over at about 10 o'clock . Anyone ringing 01228 523444(hospital operator) ask for Larch A-B. Peter r.

Brilliant news ,big smiles all round

Yes Kay the LCC is on (5th/6th June) .Follow "INFO" on front page of CSC site the LCC details are there.As yet no booking forms but i think it won't be long as people are starting to ask questions. Peter r.

The form isn't there yet and has been mentioned by a CSC member on our website. The LCC page on the members only area has nothing extra either. Skywings or human error to blame ,but no early sign ups for CSC members either !! Peter r.

Great day,with people flying all day. By my reckoning (bad memory) approx. 27 NHPC ,4 CSC and a visitor from Blackpool (possibly csc member). Still plenty of sky for everyone. With a great glide out by Bill S. and Wendy P. at the end of the day. Peter r.

This is one for Garys flying collection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-OzE4jOtw0

Brilliant,you and Paul looked to have had a great time.Great video ,allowing everyone to enjoy what can be done when you look/try hard enough.Keep it going Peter r.

Nice find Pete ,did you have a stunt double? Also check Tony Bradleys video from Clough which is on the paragliding section on there. Peter r.

Well i'm afraid my search has come to a fruitless end.The friend of my dads remembers going to Wan Fell range ,but cannot connect Johns photo to anywhere he might have been.Apart from driving out and searching the countryside my fun/work is done for now....unless you know something new?? Peter r.

When John named them Marie Celeste ranges he wasn't wrong.The latest news i have is that just between Plumpton and Penrith the TA had/has a range at Wan Fell.They also use /used one at Clifton Moor ,but i'm not sure where that is.Hopefully these names might ring a bell and bring back a memory or two...

Nice pics Dave.I was coming back for more lift even though i look very low.Don't forget you landed before me otherwise you would not have seen my novice landing :wink Good day anyhow. Peter r.

Nice photos John,but if your going to advertise your club put NHPC on the signposts!! Peter r.

Now that i have a bit more information about the area you were based and the regiment you were attached to maybe i can get nearer to finding more info. I take it R.A. = Royal artillery. I looked at some of my dads photos the other day.I also found his army shooting target logbook.He seemed to be a g...

Beautiful,professional job,of a country i obviously havn't seen much of! Well recomended Ian.

Tried the link.Says it has been removed.

Could i ask how close the aircraft were on East Hill to make you topland?And if too close what sort of feedback do you get for reporting it?

Nice push out front Pete.Nice seeing Paul Smith keeping you company.

Hi Kay very nice set of photos.Plenty of happy faces showing a very good social/flying weekend.Ian Henderson (CSC website guru) says that is the way to save website space ,you post a link for people to view a full gallery.I don't take enough photos so will only post one or two onto main gallery. Pet...
