Just a quick note to thank Ali for last nights talk on xc even though we where dropped init by the corner house Ali gave a great insight into xc flying and taught me lots about air maps etc, one day hope to put it into practice , cheers Ali .

Graeme

Well said Brian , summed it up in one post.
I would love to take part in the pilot work shops and think we could all do with the first aid feather in our caps.
I wish I could commit to the meeting every month but working shifts makes this hard.

Cheers

Graeme

Ron, it's was nice when we first arrived and ev one was quick to launch but after 20-30 mins some showers appeared out front so most landed and milled around enjoying the crack , Gary n Neil then launched in stronger wind and seemed to be doing well. An older fella then launched from well down the h...

Could not agree more Jim , no shame in listening to the inner coward , mine seems to have more say than I do but suppose that's how I'm still kicking mate. I still think it was Ron's day sunday.
Cheers
Graeme

I think Ron deserves it for being in the air while all us soft sh+++s we're sitting it out on the hill !

I stole this link from the north yorks forum (hope they don't mind) )
Unbelievable flying , if the link does not work search tube for jeb corliss grinding the crack
Enjoy

Hi all
I'm away to Ayrshire for a week or so am wondering if there are any flying sites over that side o the planet ? Iwrealise there are some on Arran but don't anticipate going there. Or any web sites that might hel me out ?
Cheers
Graeme

Did not realise Colin, was just a thought

For those that follow twitter, ye might have seen or follow dalesflyer which seems to get well used by people out there giving current site conditions out and about. I presume this is because it is much easier to tweet from a smart phone than it is to log in - create new topic - and submit ? Might b...

If this charly is as good as it's cracked up to be I would imagine the Market for second hand petrol motors is gonna mean much lower prices so now is the time to move em on . Good news is there are gonna be some bargains to be had !

Needed petrol so pulled off at Alnwick then just headed across to take our chances on the diversion round old Berwick but when we got to pianism there was no signs - road open

Was open today when I passed through
