wtf

Still a great flight Brian.

Sh1t happens and at least you were out flying and not stuck in changing smelly nappies. :lol:

You re 2nd in the league with only 1 flight.

Don't complain too much or we'll think Miller has got access to your login.

I hate to think of some poor red ribbon pilot on a DHV1 having a crack at that on Weather Fell. Most seemed to be fl...

potatoes

I've flown once in about 14 months so I might as well have packed in. Fancied a go on the zip wire with my reserve and repacking the reserve is a bonus. My skills are pretty rusty to say the least. Been hoping for a few days at the coast to help sharpen my skills up. If I can't get out regularly the...

eagle strike

yeah I heard it on the TV that it was his first flight......in the himalayas (sounds better when you leave half of the truth out).

If it was his first flight I suspect he would have come down under the reserve anyway after flying a competition glider and pod harness on his EP course.
