Been following Danny MacAskill for a while now, he's one of my heroes.
Check him out in his Imaginate video, very impressive: http://youtu.be/Sv3xVOs7_No

Haha, cheers Colin...I think...I would've said couldn't you pick a better picture but I know your time is precious!

That man is an inspiration to us all, launching from a cliff with the tide in with a light on shore breeze & hoping to make it to a beach hidden around the corner...both Ron Don & Neil made it but I still think it was on a wing & a prayer! :lol: Caption: "All hail the God of Wind, b...

I'm off next Saturday but back to work on Sunday & would love to join you if you're heading over Graeme.
We'll have to have a chat on Wednesday on the way to or at the meeting.

Fantastic weekend! Many thanks to all organisers & participants for making it awesome! Thanks to Brian Rowe, Bill Scott & Andrew Billington for giving me the courage to make my first musical stage performance...Couldn't get me off after a few songs but I'm glad there was no rotten fruit &...

Bill, if you need a hand I'm free all day so I'll follow you up or pick you up, whichever is best for you.

Personally I think that's a good answer to a good question...I haven't got much experience of flying but I've had a few "oh bugger" moments where I've had to give myself a nip & tell myself to get a grip. I'm on a new glider now & I'm finding it's a step backwards, not having as mu...

I'm on my own...well, with Shadow...he's a sausage eater too Trevor but I'm not

Ha bleedin' ha
Sure I'll make it this time...

Nail on the head thanks Colin. My thoughts exactly.

Are well behaved dogs welcome?

I like the T-shirt idea but if you're a super brilliant pilot, do you really need so many T-shirts? In whch case are you going to be snubbed the following month even having done something amazing? I think keep it as simple as it is, you should be at the meeting & have done something that others ...

Fantastic Brian, Cheers for taking her up!

Looks like a very low westerly site & a southerly wind...also looks a bit damp... I'd relocate if I was you fella

Hope this works...

Wish I'd known he was at Dodd too, I've still got his chairs in the van from the LCC

Like I'd actually stay in the house Brian... Do you know me at all?

Cheers Phil, I hadn't but it's well worth a watch.

I would say it takes at least 10years of flying current to become consistant and confident in picking the right conditions and getting the best out of the days flying and even then you will get caught out from time to time. This makes me feel a whole lot better about my weather predictions. I know ...

Sounds great Graeme, wish I'd been able to go too & would love to hear your stories. Maybe next year...going to plod on with local...ish flying & save up for a few trips through 2015. I was thinking of suggesting a flying, surfing, walking etc van trip to Ireland sometime if anyone fancies i...

Great work Ron, excellent news & you deserve it!
Love the camouflage flying top!

Great news, well done Ron!!

Great video Brian!
Really shows the fun & excitement that can be had in this amazing sport.
Just said to Bill tonight that I can't wait to have a go, I'm not a competitive person but I'd love to have a go of getting big distances.

An interesting little flight, the equivalent of flying from Washington to Southend-on-Sea!

Great to see the NHPC so well represented...& all with their passports too!

Cheers John!

If anyone has a Skytraxx 2.0 plus manual in English or knows a link to a web based version, can you let me know please...it's straight forward they said...it's a doddle they mumbled...well my German is limited & doesn't include flying terms. I'll bring it to the club night for a hands on demo if...

I'll definitely be going to the BBQ & camping in my van this year...
I can take an acoustic guitar, amp & mike if there's anywhere to plug in...we could do a karaoke sing along.

Just bought a brand new Nova Ion 3 Great timing for the poll.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Gary but don't rush back into things that will set you back...I am of course speaking as one who would do just that to someone I believe would do just that!
Get well soon mate!
