Nice one Neil, I'm sure it will be appreciated by many in the future.

Taken in Northumberland yesterday afternoon, any idea what cloud formation it is and how it's formed?

Medium rare please Colin

It should be here around Christmas time with the new happy bus!
Ziad has one for sale €3200 in MS if you're interested Lloyd, also a LM6 for €2500

Steak, medium rare and choux wreath for me,
Turkey and Christmas pud for Julie please.
Sorry to leave it until the last minute, still keeping my fingers crossed we can make it.

The money is there to benefit all pilots, not to be used for a commercial venture or to support one. If providing equipment which helps new pilots get into the air safely in your eyes provides an opportunity for litigation, then the purchase of a second hand paramotor, which are sold by unregulated ...

So, other than fly in higher winds,,,,whoop di doo, what can be done on an ENC or Nova Phantom that can't be done on an ENB or ENC for that matter? You could argue that the pilot that goes on the ENC is just making things easier for themselves because they haven't got the skill to complete the same ...

Wahooo!!!!

All makes good sense to me Colin.

The problem with the next agenda is,,,,Christmas dinner,,,January cancelled,,,February... Getting to late. After all the interest on here, I really don't think it's worth it! And what's the point in going round in more circles, the forum has more views from a wider audience than a meeting which usua...

Yep my thoughts exactly.

Do we need a vote to continue or are people happy for us to go ahead?

Sorry Brian, haven't got back to you. It's not really a holiday I would want to go on, I was hoping to meet up somewhere but that is to far south west for me. Has anyone ever flown around Clermont Ferrand in the Central Massif of France? There's a site there with 360 degrees of take off option and i...

When we looked at funding applications a tow was mentioned. I did a lot of work getting prices, courses etc. When it came to the final decision to purchase one Ali and I were the only ones in favour, most said it would never be used as no one would do the winch operating and Ronnie said there wasn't...

At the meeting there was great debate,,,, lets ask the membership,,,,we need to defer this important matter,,,,,have an on line poll,,,,have an online discussion,,,,,,we need to get it right....


One response!!!!!

I'm sure you'll have read, / heard we have a £1500 funding grant to spend on equipment for newly qualified pilots to borrow in the short term until they can afford, gain the knowledge to purchase their own. We need to make moves towards buying the equipment so that we can provide evidence of purchas...

(y) (clap) (clap) I would think there's still a £100 or so to come in from the bay auctions too, great stuff! As Garry said, nice to see some new faces appearing in the club, big welcome from us all, hope the weather is kind and you manage to get those last few tasks completed and we'll see you on t...

I'll definitely have the watch for tonight, Simon is due back home around 3 today, he started early, 4am so he could get back.

I asked Simon if he had anything for the club auction,,,,I have to say without much conviction this year. I've just received a text from him at Heathrow on his way home. "I've got a Suunto Watch for the paragliding club for you" Eh???? Not sure of the exact details yet, or if I'll have it ...

I'm interested and would prefer a location That I can drive to, doing the gypsie thing

Might be on my own this year. but we'll see.

Having dealt with it all myself in a very volatile workplace, I understand everyones concerns and have hated being part of it in the past. However, these documents may eventually serve to protect us all. You only have to listen to the news, everyday someone is being accused of things they mayor may ...

Thanks to everyone for the lovely flowers for Julie that arrived this afternoon, a great thought that is really appreciated by both Julie and I. Julie is making slow, but steady progress, managed to climb the stairs yesterday and almost to a stage of walking short distances on her own, it's really j...

Which paragliding forum?
I can get in to pgforum.com no bother.

All the best Luis, fly high, fly safe.

A lot of large 2m x 1m prints have been put along the railings of the harbour commission in Blyth to make the place look good for the Tall Ships regatta this weekend.
Second picture along from Beach Way,,,,,paragliders at Seaton Sluice

Para-Para-Paradise!

Possible maybe, depending how things are progressing.

Buy a guitar?

Definite no for me, though I do wish that it could have been yes, it will be far preferable to what I'm doing!

Yes,,, I've had a similar experience,,, I've been here 14 days, every day has been unflyable except 2. Those 2 days showed signs of quickly deteriorating to top to bottoms or flying backwards conditions,,,,so I didn't bother. Though there were reports of 12 - 14mph on the hill flying till dark from ...

So,,,,who's going to try and keep up with me?
