Good luck as from friday i will be of until the 8th so lets hope we get some good conditions.

Well i thought as in hull i may as well come back via model, arived at 11.45 and found very light winds. So after an hours talking gill left for the warmth of the cafe and 10 minutes later the wind came on. So took off and the wind was very east and seemed impossible to get to crinkle as 6 in the ai...

2-3 years john i think it was closer to 8 years and the reserve used to belong to an action man now however all is up to date and ratho was such a good day out and well worth the money

Sterling work guys is it formal wear black tie

NICE ONE CHRIS I MANAGED TO BAG ALL 4 I WONDER HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE I do the same flight again

well what a days flying today we had at west hill today, as we certainly got that right. almost 600ft ATO and 3km straight line distance n west hill has to be the furthest if have ever gone there. also was beautiful weather and shame I forgot my camera but still I have the memory.

cheers Gary

If the forecast is right we might be lucky enough to get a bit of fling in if the forecast holds. Looks like there’s north in it so should open up the back of east hill if there is plenty of wind

as people will be aware there was a bit of a discussion about the conditions at carlton regarding wind speed. the main point i would like to make is the people that took off on the should were all very experienced pilots, and to be fair this is not supposed to be done. secondly it is not a good plac...

wow that's amazing indeed

got some nice helmets as well as well as a very good snow ski one with visor all are new used once or twice 1 full face one lazer brand new half face plus ski helmet all over £100 so grab a bargain but don't take the piss as if I see them being bought for a song and sold on ebay then I will be sendi...

don't forget Christine I am sporting beard at the moment hope it wont clash

got some decent stuff going to auction so worth been there

well 4 hours 20 minutes the longest flight this year for me and what a day. I think the was well into the 20 of gliders flying and everyone going home with such big smiles on there faces. even john said he had a fantastic day flying so it must have been very good indeed.

I think it could be quite a thermic day in the lakes tomorrow and do think wolf will be a good choice. Hope to be going there unless there is a change in the forecast i think you need to be there for about 11 and there could be hours of flying. So lets keep the fingers crossed for another day of fly...

what a day it was and to think I nearly drove off at 13.00. so good day indeed and we all got a bit of the cake

yes it has the hallmarks of the 100 mph to no wind but at moment model carlton looks good for Friday. will keep a close eye on things as the way things are lately everything can change so quickly

I am staying at ramside but have my glider and thinking either Carlton or captain cooks maybe worth a try?

thinking of heading out to Macedonia as believe it is a spectacular place to fly and mainly circuit flying. generally this time of year is almost everyday strong but not too strong. let me know if you are interested and I will see what the costs are like and flights are likely from Luton. north york...

well after a high tea at the café we decided with a treck up to TP and as the front cleared the wind came back on and we had beautiful sunshine. so we all got a nice fly taken in turns as was a bit scratchy at times but I think we all went homes with smiles on are faces. what a month September has b...

You must of went back up after the coffee, wished i had done the same now

there was no bottom landing for sure nice landing too

If you can you may even get monday and Tuesday as well and from the forecasts who would of believed it

This is as new bought in April used in April for 3 flights and used only 3 times so as new condition.

A great harness but after using pod harness for the last 9 years it hard to go back but makes a great kike fly or recreational harness and hot weather.

Please pm

The wind had been mainly square on the hill and we had had a few good flights. When we took off it very quickly changed and went off to the SW and very quickly it went decidedly unpleasant. So we all landed as soon as we could, so don't think anyone would have chosen to have flown if the wind was th...

well a good turn out with some good and also interesting conditions, certainly good for the heart rate. had 2 good flights with decent height gains with the odd bump in the air followed by a third flight where the wind went off to the south west and certainly got interestingly rough. still made for ...

Well it maybe a long shot but it maybe a worth a look up at lords seat as direction is good but who knows

I think the only place that may be right is lords seat on saturday if we can get permission to fly. It looks bang on south maybe touch of east so may well work ok

well it was a double this weekend and if it was not for having to be home early it would of been a good 4 hour flying day for sure. I left mark at 2 o'clock with the lightning and he did not land until 5.40 as apparently the conditions got better and better after I left. sometimes its worth travelin...

surprisingly a good day and sure we could of flown a lot longer as the showers never hit us.
still the flying we got was very good so cannot complain so good day had by all
