He's been in more times than Jocky!

But dee do doh dont dee doh lah........... Just thought I might converse with you in your native tongue old chap. I'm sure you've got better things to do than be on this forum or paragliding. There's plenty of lead to be nicked off church roofs and cars to be jacked up on bricks....... Bill Scott......

Good flight Andrew. I was thinking that Teeside was the place for flying today. XCWeather had a SW at 8mph Saturday turning to a W at 9mph today. Checked Billingham station and Teeside airport and both looked good but everyone seemed to be heading off to the Cheviots while Albermale was showing 20mp...

I m not sure there is any stupilation to stay where Jocky says.

I can't see any difficulty staying 10kms from Olu and saving £300 to spend on new gear.

Hire car? Bus?

Hi Guys, It's way more expensive to book flights, transfers and accomodation separately. I bet you could get a cheap deal at a travel agent. I did a google search for Turkey holidays and found a self catering package near Oludeniz for £366 incl flights and transfers. However the Mrs won't let me go ...

Hi Paco, Welcome to the NE of England! As you are probably aware Newcastle is a bit cold at this time of year and flying conditions (for all but the very experienced at flying the sites) are very variable. I don't know if you have joined the club (£25 I think) but I think that is the best idea. Mont...

Can you PM me the details. Thanks, Glenn

Looks pretty clagged in Ron. Did it clear? Anyone fly?

Would like to hear about anyones experiences in Alicante as I'm going out there in March as a low airtime flyer. That would be good Gary. As I say I am happy to show my Morocco stuff at one of the other meetings and do a talk on filming/how to make videos look more proffessional. Had loads of proble...

I'm not in THAT line of work unfortunately, although I've heard that making everything on the set 3/4 size and hiring other 'actors' that are vertically challenged can help in the quest for the increase in apparent size. But as I say porn tashes, leather chaps and studded caps aren't in the kind of ...

I'm putting a 30min video together of my CP trip to Morocco. The flying footage might be a bit boring for all you skygods but there are shots of the take offs and LZs, the groups of kids at the LZ 'helping', the driving, the villages and the people. Would give someone an idea of what the place is li...

Chasing Rainbows?????

I'll dig my bong out of the back of the VW Kamper then since I 've been drawn as part of the hippy team.

Peace Man.




Glenn( AKA Running Deer)

Jim, I too have the post CP blues ....and a strange rash but enough about that. I ve just moved Up North from slightly further South (but still in the North) and I did all of my training even further South still. I didn't have a clue where to fly and it always seemed to rain or be blown out whenever...

For 2009 I'm really hoping to perfect my top to bottoms. I will do this by pushing out straight from the hill making no turns whatsoever and landing over a barbed wire fence as far away from the car as possible. All this in under 3 minutes of flight. Further to this I will work for World Peace , Cam...

flights and accomodation booked. Will arrange a hire car and at some point.



Glenn

Just booked myself and the Mrs on to the Easyjet flights to Nice.

Going to arrange my accomodation at Cote Sud this evening.

Glenn

I am waiting for a response from Cote Sud about accomodation for July and just wondering if any other non flyers were going. My Mrs is concerned about being stuck on the hill all day while I go off chasing Sky Gods. But I ve assured her that given my level of ability and recent preactice that she'll...

I do wish to apologise for leaking the details of the the North Easts premier ground handling venue, out on the open forum, without thinking about the consequenses. The Moor ( see I'm using code now) could become deluged with pilots travelling many miles to abuse our cherished facility and possibly ...

I am interested in doing this trip. Will get the dates to the other half and check we can get the time off together.

Glenn (and Jane)

The reason I mentioned the Police is because I was approached by a copper asking me why I had landed on a field near the town centre.... After a while I convinced him I hadnt dropped in from the sky. Just being a pedant but... what is the score if the area you are handling in lies inside a CTR for t...

I only ever seem to get wet feet and covered in shit on the moor. I found a little corner adjacent to Exhibition Park which is drier and firmer than in the middle near the hills, and I can walk it from my house , BUT it can be chav central at times and some members of the public seem to be drawn to ...

Being a recent newcomer to the NE and still having to use the Sat Nav to get me to the shops I was wondering if anyone knew of any places near to Newcastle to do ground handling without getting any hassle from chavs and the police? I know the town moor is nearby but since there is usually livestock ...

I think it's a company called Grand Central that do a service from Sunderland to London Kings Cross. It's all decked out like an American Diner from the 50s/60s with pictures of Marilyn Monroe on the walls.

Cheap tickets to London I am told.

Glenn

I'll sign up for it.

Glenn

Thanks for stopping and walking up with me Gary.

Much appreciated!!! Owe you a beer!

Glenn

Hi Claire,

Got my site guide this week. Many thanks! It's brilliant.

Glenn

Cheers for that Chris.

Will hopefully get down for beers at the Crown Posada before the meal.

Early start at work Sat so not too many beers for me.

See you later, Glenn

Is the curry open to new members to come along or is it a pre-paid/booked event?

Would be nice to show my face as I ve only been to 1 club meeting since joining NHPC.

New CP hoping to get out flying on Sunday
