West coast. St Bees.

Sunday looks best. I can't play on Sunday so I am going to the coast on Saturday. Give me a shout if you want to come.

Weather is not playing ball. I will be out somewhere at the current forecast but where will be decided on the day. Fingers crossed.

ha ha, so eloquently said. As always...

Nice one. I opted for Newbiggin but it teased us by a few mph below what we needed. An interesting point was they were filming a scene for the detective series called Vera in the working man's club we launch from. Hob nobbing with the stars...

We loved having you. Bring Nina next time.

We have ALL had a great time. The weather was tricky and very stable but we made the best of it. Flying on El Bosque on the tandem was the best conditions I have ever flown in. Absolutely delightful. We used free flight academy for the second year and we will all be booking with them for the next tr...

It's a fun thing to do. Great exercise and somewhere to share opinions and encourage each other. It also surprised me ground handling other wings how difficult they can be to launch due to their aspect ratio. we should meet more often. I was practising a new strong wind launch with my tandem the las...

Hi aeros, thanks for taking the time to post this. One point I want to mention. As a club we agreed that we should encourage everybody to post their opinions on weather and site that might be flyable. Most people follow the experienced pilots and we all agree that is ok. We don't mind people leechin...

Well, I didn't fly yesterday. I decided to sack it off and enjoy sitting in my garden enjoying the sun. Keeping my powder dry for Algo.

Forgetting you will all be in the lakes. Might see you there...

Crossfell, Millers leap. See you out there.

First time for me on a work trip to the Annecy area, and what excitement was brewing inside of me as only you pilots will know. Bags packed including glider of course, insurance purchased ( not cheap ) and the day dawned so climbing into the taxi I was that excited I could burst( 5:00am). This excit...

I check the board frequently. Well said.

Heading to east hill then newbiggin later.

Heading to newbiggin at some point!

had a blast flying Tynemouth wit Neil. We went to Newbiggin but there was no wind. Back to Tynemouth, finishing with a beer in the sun.....magic.

Ended up at Staggs fell. Lovely site so noted for a visit but I ended up at semerwater which was a top to bottom......grrrr. Ah well there is always tomorrow.

Plan dependant on direction is tynemouth then newbiggin on Friday. Plan to get to tynemouth for 1pm approx.

Alnmouth is an option

Hi Brian. Still undecided where to go. Rasp is showing five stars early afternoon with a southerly direction. Very little wind so might still try crossfell but I might end up at staggs fell as it is five stars too. I will decide on the day.

Day out at Bridlington?

We should try to use this forum. I for one will try but social media is so easy. Can whatsapp and the website be linked?

Could be breezy. Waiting until nearer the time but could be another good day. If its breezy I will be heading to Tynemouth knots flats or newbiggin for some fun flying.

Thursday afternoon heading to crossfell ( at the moment, subject to confirmation of the weather on the day ).

He did it through air sports insurance bureau. They are underwritten by Harrison Beaumont

Not yet! I will be using the company that Neil Hunter used.
