Hi Graeme, If it's Norma your thinking of that used to be my local site. It's a fantastic place to fly autumn or early spring from February onwards. Great flying for all levels and only a walk from B&B's to take off. It's probably an hour from the eternal city but the list of places to visit is ...

Well done Ron, as usual showing us all the way to do it!

This is a very important issue for our sport -now and for the future. Most people will dip their toe into XC at some stage and many have already had the wonderful experience of leaving the dales or peaks on the exact routings that are pretty much going to be blocked by these changes. Airports like L...

Just announced Easyjet to fly direct to Geneva from Newcastle 4 times per week throughout next summer starting from beginning of May, tickets on sale now for all you Annecy fans!

We used to fly from Easington back in the olden days, it's a nice t/o for East and e/s/e. Looking at google earth it seems to be a bit more picturesque these days with what looks like a proper car park not too far from the t/o point. Blackhall was used as the main t/o in the old hang gliding days. I...

How they made the video is available on iplayer. Very inspirational!

Fantastic! Been to those very spots, gets your heart in your mouth even without the bike!!

A talk on xc soar would be great!

For Ron,

Yes, just checked on their website airworks.co.uk and they do have the spherical compass

For Ron,Lloyd and Gary the email address for the Kobo Touch device is:-

getkobomini@hotmail.com

Make sure you ask Nev to set it up the same as mine because that will then display the MATZ aswell as the normal atz.



For the spherical compass I think I got that from airworks.co.uk

What size screen is your tab 3 and how readable is it in strong sunlight?

I'm looking to run Xcsoar on a tablet aswell. Considering Galaxy tab 3 with a 5" screen. Anybody have any experience with readability in sunlight and operation with this tablet, or any other thoughts on devices out there?

Well done Ron!
You've earned every penny for the effort you've put in!!

I've got one of these for sale. It's in perfect condition and regularly repacked by Aerofix.

Hi glen, I had the Woody Valley voyager+. I researched the different options at the time and came up with that one as the best. It workedl for me and is very well made.

Which night shall we book Ali?

Free Wed,Thur and Fri

I'm free on Friday night but might be a bit short notice for every one else.

It's the Lion and Lamb at Horsley. Let me know when your thinking of and I'll pop in and see if the rooms free.

Looking forward to it.

Hi Ron, your link doesn't work.

Think yourselves lucky, can't even begin to imagine Bill in a short skirt!!

Can't get back to the UK for then Jim, hope you have a good night.

Get well soon Colin. Hope to see you out on the hill in the not too distant future.

Thanks for the replies. Will look into the mits solution but am most interested to hear how you get on with the electric liners Steve. I've tried heated gloves before but they didn't provide enough heat for long enough. I'm coming back to the UK for good in the not too distant future so need to get ...

Haven't a clue how to put a link on but if you want inspiration try Artik 3 ITA on YouTube. Awesome video!!!

Probably one of the most important pieces of kit but least talked about is gloves. I've never been able to find a really effective pair of gloves for longer flights. What do people use and what can you recommend, especially those that spend a long time in the air.

Gin Sprint for sale, perfect for you John, nice and stable. Sure there be a deal for you!

Not sure if I'll be in the uk then, but will definitely come along if I am.
