Thanks for the quick responses.

Gary if you tell me that it was a 15k Triangle then that's good enough for me mate. Wish you could have shared this flight with us.

Xfell is probably still offering the conditions for a great flight as I type...

Note to self... Sort out LED lights for Wing!

Finally for the first time this summer managed to be in the right place at the right time. :o Only one problem... Not sure how to get the XC League thingy to score the flight as a FAI Triangle as I think I might of fullfilled another goal that I've always dreamed of... getting a 15k on XFell!!! 8) S...

All the better to cover big distance!

Though if it's as unstable as it is today I won't be leaving the ground!

So ideal conditions for Bankholiday Monday = Northerly backing North Easterly

Hogdon Law to my back garden!

Thanks for the advice everyone.

So as long as it's flyable and not SW it's should be fun.

Guessing I'll catch a few of you on a hill near me on Saturday for further information.

Thinking of flying in the Cheviots during August Bank holiday.

I know it's a bit off to tell what the weather will be like, however which are the best sites to try weather permitting near Alnham.

Thanks for any positive advice.

Hope you're right John!

What's the Dashed Line on the chart?

One has 546 and the other 564?

Wind @ bottom XFelll. Bang on. Sky over Howgills near perfect. Last call 2play.

Wind looks to have a bit more South in it now.
Who knows what it will be like up on High Cap.
Heading up that way now.

Wind looks West South West which we know is best.

If there's space when you pass me on the track John take would be great.

Got train times for retireve from Brampton

Fantastic Pictures Kay!

Looks & sounds like everyone had a fantastic day.

Well done to the organisers and all who took part.

Bit early to tell yet! :oops: No wind down in the valley, the high cloud looks W. Will post again about 0930 if people are interested. Just had a look at towards Lakes and would guess the cloud in the central Lakes is touching the water! :???: It doesn't always get across the valley though thankfull...

Wondering if anyone is coming out to play today then.

High Cap is clear already, hopefully it will last.

Well done to everybody on their flights today!

Conditions look dire for tomorrow but might try the task set for today if anyone fancies a laugh tomorrow and is up for it I'll post if / when High Cap clears from cloud!

Congratulation Mr. Watson.

I hope it works for you too, keep me up to date with how it goes. Be careful with any of your mega flights as the software is only at Version 0.04!! Until they put a 1.0 it's still in testing, I haven't been able to break it yet!!! Usually good at breaking things.... :oops: I've put it on paraglidin...

You'll need the driver from here not all drivers I've tried work. http://sourceforge.net/projects/osx-pl2303/ And GPSDump for Mac from here. http://www.gethome.no/stein.sorensen/body_mac.htm WARNING!!! Suggest saving important tracks the way we've been struggling to do up to now until we've well tes...

Yes, yep, aha. . . . . . . . . . I'll be asking Flytec how I implement the nag feature on mine! "You said you weren't going XC! You're not prepared! You Radios nearly flat! You've no airspace map! You won't be back till late! What do you think you're doing! Are you listening to me! Well are you...

First job of the day has to be a massive thanks to John Wallis for the retrieve from the land that time forgot. (Hope the curry still tasted good that late!) :oops: Secondly a big thanks to anyone else who tried to help with my retrieve / vehicle recovery. The lack of planning to go on a XC was smas...

Well that way we shud b bak @ T/O in time 2 join in with the L8 arrivers comp!

Still think XFell will be the place!

Light WSW = 80K O/R ridge run.

Hope everyone has fun and achieves there goals for the day!

Sorry to hear of your loss John.

Just thought I'd give my 2 peneth... If it ain't broke don't fix it. The job done behind the scenes on the forum is much appreciated. For me the ease of use and log on make it my first port of call for flying CRACK. :roll: Ok sometimes things don't run as smooth as we'd like but just like in non cyb...

I can go this weekend John said he would so that makes 2 and we need 6!

Anyone else interested in going down???

That includes you skysurferboy!


Oh yes and all you BUZZARDS!!!

Please note that Ospreys are nesting on the western side of Dodd Wood and this area should be avioded at all times when flying. There have been a number of pilots flying low over the nest attemping to fly XC recently, landing shortly afterwards at the foot of the hill. This could easily upset the bi...

There right you know there's only one place i know of where you want a Yellow Taxi and we're a long way from NYC. Not sure what's happened yet, guessing more than a sprained ankle and hoping you've still got use for the Dental Floss. Get well soon. The seasons shaping up to be a cracker so I'm sure ...

Just to bring this back to the top of the forum.
