Im working on getting the time off, got Sunday okay, just need Saturday now.
Which is the likely site out of interest?
Travelling down Friday night?

Fantastic Chris, really captures the excitement of it all

Nice one, just seems so matter of fact.

Just hold this a second mate, am away out.

Looking forward to the tumble cam.

Thats great news Paolo!

I'll second that Chris. I'm not sure where to start? Amazing acro, speed flying, music, weather and banter. The crack in the car and the post flight pub was just hilarious. Round the camp fire with Kay, Anto, Bill (Chubby Brown) Scott and Jim singing. Boogying with Naomi, Chris and Jan until dawn. F...

Cheers guys, but for a small navigating error Jan would have been 2nd and Kay probably 3rd. So I was lucky. Great flying by both lasses on day one with Jan making goal and Kay missing out by a field, whopping my effort. Both made goal on day 2. You were both robbed. I messed up day one so thought i ...

I bought these at the same time as a matching twin set with my nut huggers but they've faded a bit.
The elastic is going a bit too for some reason?

Err, actually they're mine!
I'm carrying an extra bit of weight still from over Xmas. I was hoping no one would notice!
I must say I'm a bit disappointed at Neil for videoing my morning exercises. Man boobs are a real issue and not one to be laughed at!

Thanks a bunch!

great spot, sizes are normally 8 or 8 1/2 as thay are usually samples from reps. I'm a 9 1/2 worse luck! Sometimes in the Durham store too

I would like to discuss this as being so green to the sport I am not wholly sure. A chat is probably the best way. Every day and every cloud is different and i should have got my self next to some experienced people to listen to discussions on the day. I didnt. Just looking for more knowledge to bas...

This is posted on the CSC forum and a timely reminder of what can happen. The flight trace at the bottom of the page is interesting too. http://www.poweredparaglidingontario.com/weather/sucked_in.htm Now for the elephant in the room: This weekend I felt a bit uneasy about flying due to the size of t...

Storm in a tea cup, in the same vane as climbers and walkers in flip flops, untrained sailors navigating with a road atlas etc. Tomorrows chip paper. You will always get accidents by adventurous individuals who are prepared to give something a go. The public are more switched on than you think in my...

Get well soon Alistair, I'm sure you'll be straight back into it when you're fit.
Well done and thanks to all of the organisers, I only just got the day off but glad I made it.
Well done Gary too, good job I tied that speed bar on and not you cos you'd still be up there now
Cheers
Jim

and a flat battery!

Best wishes Dave, I hope you have a speedy recovery.
Take care mate
Cheers
Jim

Nice vid Gary but far too short. The light was perfect for viewing the currents interacting with the various points on the island.
Cheers
Jim

Best way to catch em is a big net Gary.....
Not much meat on them tho!

Nice one Colin, well done, thats a great flight, some good pics too. Tide times could have been better, best to keep the percentages on your side for folks who havent done this before.
Cheers
Jim

Also weekend of N54 comp.

Quite impressed Colin

Bill, I may have the lead you need, failing that a gps you can use. If I enter I will be in the B comp.
Cheers
Jim

Certainly was a big day for Kitt today, 140k from Clough Head.
Amazing effort, well done mate.
Cheers
Jim

When i flew to Whitby it was the first time past Saltburn for me, so i dont have much experience on that route. I do remember that when i found lift, good lift, i topped up as much as i possibly could before moving on. As i didnt know what was coming next. I agree that once past Staithes and looking...

Lokked Nice, great vid

Sorry, just re-read it, no mention of the i-phone or apps, itll never sell

Just read Nigel Page's book on basic techniques for xc, a good read for pilots looking to go over the back. More aimed at beginners like me as opposed to proper pilots tho. He discusses british conditions and has some interesting theories on flying for duration. He uses simple language and is very r...

Kitt posted this on the CSC site: In order to encourage people to fly and explore the Scottish highlands and therefore increase the understanding of the local meteorology There will be a a prize put up for the longest flight on a EN-B or equivalent to be flown on the Highlands. First of all the priz...
