While others were at the coast. I got two flights in including my first flop over the back of the season. just shy of 9km which although not record breaking did give the chance of safe cloud flying and some cross wind gliding. Retrieves were great too. Got back in to get another hour in and a bit mo...

A couple of years a ago I helped Jocky S explore options for a which site near Lazonby ( Eden Valley north of Penrith) it would make a great place for defined flights (triangles).

The CSC are cautiously considering a members forum to help our otherwise very static site, I am interested to get the views of the users, moderators and admin as to the considered pro's and con's of such a feature. I certainly enjoy some of the banter which takes place here and I find it a useful pl...

Could somebody PM me Ian's contact details
Many thanks

A similar idea has been voiced on this side of the country. A loose plan was along the lines of th x Alps ie set turnpoints. Starting at Black Combe via Skiddaw the Hellvellyn before heading out to Hawes. Of course there is a number of logistical issues to resolve but as I see it as long as we get a...

If you would like - I would be up for task setting. Can als o bring a couple of demo gliders Golden 2 and Aspen 2 Sorry no Avax XC2 as yet

I did not mean to apear curt in my last response - paragliding on this site is still a new thing and although I have had some good flights from it it is not without its difficulties -which folkes may have seen today. Obviously I don't want our enthusiasm to fly xc damage relations here. Since the be...

Before you go inviting all 'n'sundrie Brigsteer has a limit of eight gliders and is definately not a soaring site. Apart from that give me a shout when you get near I will bring along the glider for you to try

Good to hear you are enjoying the wing - I am sure you will be taking it easy though i see a couple of xc's have already been logged.
Keep it safe

John speaks wise words better to delay for a few more weeks than rush back and regret it later. Be patient Gary you will heal in due course and maybe Gill will appreciate you n0ot charging around the country looking for a place to fly. Believe me it is far better to get a few brownie points in the b...

Ali mate,
I can always rely on you to take a slightly different slant on the situation - did make me smile, not that i have ever experienced your situation.

Actually got flying in the lakes from 14.00 on Bewaldeth. Not good to task though ( LCC )

Three of us took off from brigsteer (again) Shaun flew to Barnard Castle not bad considering he last clipped in 4 or 5 years ago Mike and I continued on and I left Mike at Richmond and I continued on a little further for a scoring distance of 95km that is 292 km in a week. Now Gary that could be a r...

Apologies Ali, ( will get you a beer or two at the LCC). You would not want to hear my recycled account of the flight anyway
