Hello, looked at your flight + height gains, I don't think there is much wrong with your flying skills. I read your last post 4years CP + 50hours, has any coach approached you and recommend that you should go for your Pilot rating ? its well worth doing and will answer a lot of the questions that yo...

Just look at this pic ! it was taken in the middle of a CP exam when sitting in the truck behind East hill on Tuesday night, The wing section has a eliptical tip which probably has been like this for thousands of years

Our hanggliders and paragliders now have the same wing tip Amazing !

Enjoyed that ! great music

When is your leaving party Luis

Looks nice. Get a good alarm fitted if the low life's see you with pg equipment they will want it..

Well done Colin & Brian

Hi John, I would imagine that your HG gear is well past it by now but thanks for the offer ! and as you should know all student information are data protected but I will give them your mobile number for contact but I think they were just having a go for the experience.

Cheers

Good weekend teaching, was a bit windy at times but HG's can take it. Nice to see there is still an interest in this great sport.

Would luv to be there Brian but I am training in the Cheviots.

By the way Eshott fly in looked great.

Great Job ! looked very professional.

Good stuff. Brian.

Interested Ron, would like a look

Some nice footage Derek, don't need to be sorry the lower pilot has right of way and pilots above should take avoidance but always watch out in case they don't see you..

Top of Dunnmoor cairn lots of potential, 1700asl n.east - s.east & west

Christine is on her way !

No problem Brian best before you go to France ! I can pick-up just let me know when.

Cheers

Does your reserve need re-packing ? if we can get a group together I can arrange to pick them up do the repack then drop them off.

Track ok.

Hi Graham,. sorry to read your bad news. We will need to contact Bill Telford first before we removed any stones on the track and was there much oil spillage ? because I can sort that out tomorrow for you.

I have quite few hanggliding L/E tubes and making a couple of tripods will be no problem. They will collapse down to aprox 7ft long (telescopic) and will do just the job

Thanks Steve & Neil, still trying hard to keep hang gliding alive.. the trouble with interviews like this.. it all happens very quickly and stuff you want to mention you don't have the time ! I was going to mention our club and our friendly farmers but will make sure next time.. they have invite...

The last time people flew there Gary was last year me and 2 students. The site takes north west, west, and a bit of south west Steve, great, 4x4 track to the top. 1700 asl. one mile long ridge with the Cheviot West face at the end of it ! You take the road past hownam law and continue to Cocklaw foo...

Don't forget Windy gyle, it's a bit like the Crossfell terrain with huge out and return potential

Paid £33.00 (cheque) at the April meeting Kate £18.00 + £10 for club calendars = £28. I know I can't add up but not to worry but since then Bill Scott has told me I've already paid for the calendars but not to worry I also have a bad memory...

Beltaaa ! why do we keep seeing these ? I shouldn't laugh but you could see what was coming and I did laugh

Check out the ordinance survey charts there are plenty of roads all over the place Steve + there are loads of good 4x4 tracks no problems there. Our club should be flying this side of the Cheviots more often there is huge potential for some great flights.

I checked out the video and it was a scary watch... Taking off with speed trims on full ? brake lines wrapped around the risers... running through very long grass.. after take off flying towards 11,000 kV power lines very low, landing down wind ? why do people do this when there are very skilled ins...

You must be joking Andrew, a former hang-glider pilot flying with a visor on a paraglider...?

The motorist are to blame.. they used to park there and block the road when they tried to get up in icy conditions. The yellow lines stopped all that so now the 4x4's can get up with no problems
