For "remoteness" I got you all beat.

And there's more from where that came from!

PS - Don't kick me out of the club before I even join

Here you go, one more post to fuel the iphone debat

Next, fly your iPG from the safety of your home.

Can a non-member attend Gordie's talk - since I missed it when he gave it in the lakes?

I need to pay my dues to you guys, but I'm going to be gone most of next summer so thought I'd save myself a few quid and join for spring 2011.

Thank Ron. Does look like a good site, bit far from Carlisle, but I'll remember it.

can you mark this place on google maps for me? I'm not sure where it is.

Only for serious XC pilots.

Wow! little bit too much of that last tree for me! If you get it wrong, you sure don't give yourself many landing options on the way down - but I guess that's not really an option is it? Can you slope land one of those things?

Here's another iphone app I found that does that was developed for runners, but looks pretty interesting: http://www.newbalance.com/iphone/totalfit/

Congrats Gordie! Keep safe.

Sure wish I could have made your CSC club night talk. Though the wife isn't too pleased to hear my talk about wanting to buy Chis L.'s bobcat. I'm sure if I attended she'd probably lock me out.

I have an O2 XDA with GPS and I have memory map loaded on it which I have used to track a few of my flights. I always fly with my Garmin as well. The O2 GPS doesn't take readings very often and I can't adjust it, so would never use it in a competition. The memory map software seems to be OK, but I h...

Havnt used it in the field yet so couldnt comment on battery life or transmition quality

Let me know if you like it, I'm looking for a good radio.

In one of the XC magazines there was a short article about someone developing software for the iphone specificly for paragliding. They had links to download the software and needed testers, but I can't remember which issue.

I bought the altirando XP this spring, a lighter wing (Aspen I), and lighter reserve. I went from carying 22+ kg to about 16kg. My back, legs and lungs are much happier. Davehorn has an altirando as well, so might be good to get his oppinion. It's comfortable, I get good feedback from the wing throu...

PS any of you experts out there have any tips for learning to kite surf - I'm looking t options schools etc.....Cheers

Me too. I have an 8 meter kite that was given to me, but no board yet, but I want to learn.

Nice vid! I'm still looking for the link of the video of you speedflying down Carrock.

(Paul Myerscouse flying high above taking video)

- would love to see the video when it's posted.

Would have loved to have had a pic of the pigeon on your wing.

Saw a buzzard dive bomb a paraglider on Bewaldeth and tear it with his talons, but no pigeons on a wing before.

Hi, when I bought my old glider in the US I put it in vacum sealed storage/packing bags and brought it over in small to regular sized suitcases. You can buy these on ebay. Here's a link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-Travel-Vacuum-Seal-Bags-413-5_W0QQitemZ280313041383QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Storage?hash=ite...

Hi, I created a CSC facebook fanpage a couple months ago. It's not been too popular, but I try to post something on it almost everyday. Feel free to follow it too and to post on it. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cumbria-Soaring-Club/92234222337?v=wall&viewas=688828214 Also a CSC "live site ...

Thanks, looks like a great area to explore.

Where is that? Could someone send me a googlemaps link? Looks like a fun place to take my kids.

452 ft ATO, but who's counting! I was just surprised by the 6 bottles of ale that I won, beats the wind sock by far.

I was chuffed to see Jan beat Chris in the spot landing. Way to go Jan!

could not contain your 'Yeeehaaarrrrsss' I guess the speed wing brought out the redneck in me - oops. :oops: ]about an hour soaring our paragliders in a perfect breeze. Just my luck. I went to check to see if it was flyable on Bewaldeth (it wasn't) or Jenkin where DD and Pete R. launched from and i...

Spent most of the day on Lowca watching Chris Little and Rob on speed wings. I got a chance to fly Chris's (I owe you at least one pint - thanks loads) and they are really great fun. Here's too many pics and some videos: http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/overseashoosier/Lowca# P.S. the origianl videos (...

got a link to the video?

Hi,

This is interesting. I have heard about these huts, but haven't found where I can get information about them, where they are located, how much they cost, etc. Does anyone have a good website listing them? do they all charge? I was told that there were some free.

Had to dig for a translation - but found one. Now I gotta figure out what it means!

Well ya'll have made me feel right at home and very welcomed. Thanks. are you the chap a drove to the top of x fell some weeks ago. Yep, that's me. thanks again for that. "Lindisfarne - Fog on the Tyne" - now that's culture! Don't know that I really wanted to experience it but think I'm a ...

Are you the person who was spiraling down at butemere bash on the thursday and still going up just after bills splash landing

Yep, that was me and I was sooooooo glad to land (and especially not in the water).
