Were we desperate to fly or just desperate. I have be flying paragliders for over 20 years and have always aired on the side of caution. With a strong wind (and forecast to be come stronger) I decided to to stay out in front of the hill knowing that the terrain at Cross Fell has a lot of small hills...

Great talk and the pictures were fantastic.

I am terrified of flying. While others s̶l̶e̶e̶p̶ ̶s̶o̶u̶n̶d̶l̶y̶ fly around me, my heart pounds and I am alert to the possibilities of a t̶e̶r̶r̶o̶r̶i̶s̶t̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶l̶o̶s̶i̶o̶n̶, a wing f̶a̶l̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶ collapsing, e̶n̶g̶i̶n̶e̶ equipment failure, the pilot passing out, or lightning.

Nice one Ron, will give it a view...

It looks like morning glory cloud that occurs on the Australian coast.

No one guessed there name. I didn't know either.
These wave clouds are known as Kelvin-Helmholtz wave cloud. I believe they are very rare in the UK.

Rolling wave!

As for me I was very happy to see Gary's happy bus yesterday retrieving me from Coldstream. And for only £8 I would definitely paid more. Gary you are selling yourself short. Thanks for the pick-up.

Hi All, Nice to hear that you guys are getting from flying in. I am out in California with my wife who is attending a medical clinic. Meet up with some of the local pilots on St. Helena NW of Santa Rosa. One hour to walk to the top and nobody flying, too windy. But they flew the day before. Here is ...

Hi Chris,

I've paid by bank transfer.

Cheers,

Lloyd.

My flight ended prematurely, more on that later. Got in sight of Wether Fell only to see a gaggle disappear over the back. Liam and I walked to the edge of the hill where is was nearly blown out. Liam took off and went straight up. After watching Liam fly around for a bit and waiting for a lull I la...

Nice picture Ron, but what's the story behind the picture?

Something to listen to.

Many hands make light work!

Heightley pickup for me. See you at there.

Gary, put me down if there's space. Merry Christmas all.
