At last,,,,,,proof of life on the moon
John's dolls house?
A picture you took while flying xc from X Fell?

Answer,,,,,,,all of the above

Oh!!!! look outside!!!
The suns sweating again!
And more

So that's what happened to your hair and to think, we were all blaming Fay!

I take it that today is the tomorrow of yesterday? In which case on this tomorrow or even today I may venture north to Hogdon Law if, no, when the wind begins to flutter from the East......that's if it doesn't over develop first! (rain) And,,,if it does,,,just think of the brownie points I'm earning...

What sort of music do they play?

I came out of school at 1.40, took a look at the sky and thought, yep! there's some good lift out there, possible for something really big today.......only it aint going to be me! There were 3 huge cunimbs only separated by thunderous marj simpsons, looked really awesome, wish I'd taken a pic. Pleas...

Looks a bit at the moment, but keeping an eye on things. We need an early warning system from those in the west please.

act like Lemmings Hey, I love playing Lemmings, it's great when they blow up, you can live in your own little imaginary world and pretend they're someone really annoying!!!! :roll: (ninja) (ninja) (dance) (dance) :x And I love my little imaginary world, with Happy buses, psychedelic flowers and sur...

but still a bit limp,

Shame, but I'm sure Gill will help during the holiday!

Upper case 'D' if you don't mind Ronnie. 35% - 50% = 15% would be interesting to know what difference this little bit makes? I'm sure someone will enlighten me. But the fact remains, as I stated Ali did a good site and flight assessment which I had full confidence in. Thanks Gordie for pointing out ...

And you don't have time to do the sites guide? Get it on line! Brilliant Steve! Can you download it from UTUBE?

I wonder where Ronnie will be doing the assymetric fro the CP? In those conditions there was plenty of height available to do two assymetrics for more than 5 secs a piece, two 360 spirals and still have 100ft to lose before landing. Ali did the task first to make sure that everything was ok and help...

Pics in the photo album in a minute.

Bet he'd be the first to jump at the opportunity! All clubs should have the same open policy as the CSC. How about a re vote?

Still only one way for me, skis and a ski lift! I was talking to one of Gordies pupils today at work who had seen Chris in action, he said it look great fun and all the landings were good. He's got a couple of pics of Chris in action, must get them on the board. I've only tried the K2 version and th...

Having tried again on skis this year, I still think it needs more development. Having been around in the early days of windsurfing and kite surfing I realise how quickly these sports can change by taking ideas from their 'cousins'. Five years down the line this will be a totally different beast and ...

All stunts completed by the stunt double Mad Neil :lol: No animals were hurt or injured during the filming for this production.(toivo) (heidy) (hug) However a wind sock has disappeared and an innocent passer by was last seen rolling in the long grass with an equally long haired plumber (cache) . One...

Neil, you don't need a license,,,you must be a founder member

Brilliant!
You can be my hero Paolo

Considering yesterdays forecast of 7mph, which was more like 17mph (min) until 3.30, todays 15mph could translate to,,,,pretty windy!
Anyone got any ideas, or inside info from the hill dwellers?

Anyone venturing to the old faithful summer retreat over the next few days (East Hill)? Or has anyone got any better ideas?

Garry, the little emoticon WAS NOT pointing upwards at your name, if it had been you, I would have said so, cause I know you can take it,,,,,usually! Pass your mouse over the emoticon in the emoticon choice box to see what the icon stands for, you may then realise who I am talking about! You were th...

Not something that I would recommend practicing on East Hill or the like. Once saw a '(finger) ' type bloke do just that on afore mentioned hill. The resultant vertical exit from the sky of about 10ft proved to be a very quick landing option. :^) Just thought I'd check the brake travel on my glider...

I put the blame firmly in the hands of that Fingers (finger) . Without his stupid little computer XC League, Everyone would be going ....OH yes Miskin....I'm sure you did,,,,,uh hu! (disagree) (disagree) (zzz) (zzz) But,,,, and there are two big buts actually (mooning) (mooning) He can fly one of th...

Could at least have provided you with a uniform so you could look like a Goat with them!
An I thought you were kidding about the weekend away

Think that bump has taken effect on your weather interpretation skills. Tuesday, all I can see is westerlies, perhaps NW if I'm being generous. Maybe Thursday, either xfell, but I think it will be a little like yesterday with some big stuff about, or there's always good ol East Hill. But generally, ...

Borders actually saying;
Windspeed lowest 2kts
Windspeed highest 24kts
Average windspeed 10kts

I don't know where there wind thingy is but it does seem a little gusty

Heading north, but still on a positive maybe, anyone got any other thoughts?

Was hoping, but not really got a clue at the moment, looks almost westerly to me, stronger in the north ....stiffies to hownam. I was considering that, but it now seems a tad strong for pg's, although I'm not ruling it out. So,, sounds like a positive maybe! (mm) Now Sunday, that's a little more obv...

yep. quite agree, then I can say what I think
