Good choice John, I know for a fact that mad dog employed professional packers from the far eastern manufacturer each time the wing was folded, it was then taken and carefully stored in a climate controlled room at Miller Mansion and the take off area was carpeted before each take off. But---I have ...

I can do input on ground handling or hostage negotiation, I am far better at one of them than the other, thankfully. Please send the ransome now. But Bill's idea on foreign sites is a good'un. There must be a a lot of combined knowledge within the club to assist those considering a trip away and not...

Thanks Dave, been there before and had some good flying, will bear it in mind as I have nothing definite arranged yet. I'm sure my wife would 'appreciate' a caravan full of beer sodden farting pilots, a breed she is familiar with. Will keep in touch

Walk! not my idea of a holliday, might give that some closer attention before deciding if Puy de Dome is for me

Don't be shy folks, I spent 30 years of others telling me where to go! After a bit of t'inter webbing has anyone got any info on Treh Markstein in the Vosges region and Puy de Dome

thanks for the quick reply, forgot to mention I will be towing a caravan so Turkey might be a bit far and been to the festival at St Hilaire a couple of times, are the Cheviots good in September?

With the cr#p weather thoughts are turning to the summer hols, any one got any suggestions for September in Europe.Done Annecy, Larange and Chamonix so fancy somewhere else for some easy relaxed flying, and flat valley floors for some cycling, and cheap everything

My kids used to fall asleep after a day at the seaside as well, but they looked a lot more angelic than this lot!

Inspirational stuff reading about the wave flying, so much so I got the hang glider off it's perch, replaced the wing wires, checked the batten profiles and made sure no wildlife had taken up residence in the wing, now just the reserve to repack. The paragliding in wave reminded me of my Raleigh Run...

Pounced on by a Couger, not the best image to hold for the more 'mature' members. But my aim is still to be a cruise ship giggalo, if anyone can recommend some sites!

My barometer has bottomed out, so has my wallet, send help, sunshine or cash!

a definite for me and my good lady please (the 'bad' lady is unavailable!)

Got myself one of these and more than 1 button to press is more than I am used to. My problem is I am unable to get the audio to work on the 'down' everything else is OK and I think I have followed the instructions right. Anyone had a similar problem? it's tiring running up and down the stairs! ta t...

Looking to go to Annecy in September and after a 2m radio for my ever patient ground crew so size and age not an issue. Anyone got a cheapy I can buy or one not being used I can lend?

For those who may be on my Hotmail contact list (I'm not sure who 'cos I am locked out of my own account) rest assured I have not been mugged in Spain and desperate for money for the hotel bill. I am in fact still in Durham getting mugged everyday by the better half!

Just back from a week with Steve Ham and a good week it was, flew 5 of the 7 available days (could have done the other 2 with a bit more experience). Steve did his best to get you flying as often as possible and although the main take off is a dusty place the astro turf should be sorted soon. Accomm...

Thinking of Spain before the summer, anyone ever been out to Steve Hams place?

The press often do follow ups with the injured so why not the gesture of a get well card from the club and the right advice about training for when he is ready. Wouid show a personal touch as well proactivley promoting safe flying in the area.

In the hope of getting some time off in September, whats the easiest most economic way of flying from Newcastle to Geneva with your paragliding gear?

I am after a radio, so what are the recommendations? Just the usual wants, small, light, good battery life, decent range, not one that needs some work by fat fingers and a soldering iron, and preferably with a bullshit filter! Sorry about the weather, it was me, finished a paragliding CP conversion ...

looks like a macam boy band to me
