Trying to contact Prima but for 2 days they've been engaged!
Not sure if anyone is already sorting this?
I was thinking of the 16th December, booking for 15? 20?
I know Julie was looking into this but not sure if anywhere was booked?
Cheers

Have you changed the rules to allow powered PG flights on xc league as well?

its not me thats panicking.
And if you want to void me like youve voided tony, fill your boots.
Wouldnt surprise me either.

Totally disagree. Any club member should be able to enter any club comps, what they do elsewhere is up to them. Tonys had a great year, happens to live in Cumbria, supports 3 clubs i beleive, good on him. To change rules or enter new rules at the 11th hour is not on in my view. Just my opinion and m...

now im a bit confused. Tony can be a member of as many clubs as he wants and enter the national xc league for any one of those clubs surely? The flights he or any other member puts on the nhpc league count towards any nhpc competition surely? The flights are measured using open distance. Can someone...

I'm still keen on a night out in Newcastle too if anyone else is up for it, Prima or such like?
Not sure how to do a poll either for December meeting.
Cheers

Nice line, wonder where it was?

Ee I mentioned no names an' all
I think I've been set up again

I like Pena Rubia too, at the top of a steep cliff, flew there last year with Paul and Rich. Nick set a task to the local castle and back or if getting back was too tricky we were to go xc but stay in the valley so he could find us. It was a great day, although limited by having to stay in the valle...

Are these on the ridge above Kirkby Stephen?
Could be

Nice one Brian, looked good flying over Pillar, Kirkfell and Gable.
Great attitude with the frontal, obviously not fazed in the slightest. Good vid, liked it, shame about the bits that were lost.
Cheers

Good call, really enjoyed last year in Newcastle, I'd certainly go back there again.

Just spat red wine all over the couch

Dales for me, the hills are smaller but have good potential for xc without too much sea breeze/airspace/grouse/horses to ruin the day. Dales pilots are good crack too, good pubs and cafes, not too bad to hitch back, friendly farmers even give you a lift. Cannot believe there are 6 votes for the Chev...

And a bit of high lining

Congratulations to you both, great news

You'd be best off in a chalet or hotel that time of year its freeeezing!

By Jove, I think we've been hoodwinked?
Nice one John, certainly livened up the forum

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Hi James, I've been flying for two years now and love this sport. One of the reasons I love it so much is because I have had the right training and learnt so much from some great instructors. They taught me at a rate to satisfy even my "get on with it already" attitude, to a point where on...

Two 6kg fire extinguishers, one AFFF foam, one dry powder, mounted either side of the harness, can't be too careful!!

Xscape near Leeds, (Castleford) are doing some canny offers for skiing/ snowboardiing during September. £10 for an hour between 1000 and 1100 on weekdays (get there early to get skis/ changed etc) or for those who can take the pace... £22 for 2 hours between 1000 and 1200 on weekdays. Over 50's qual...

Hi All,
Anyone interested in an October trip to get a bit of late season flying in? Had a great time in Alicante with Nick at Doyouwanna for two years and he is good value in my opinion.
Cheers
Jim

Hi All, Thinking of putting together a ski touring trip to the Alps next April / May. Either the Haute Route or another hut to hut tour similar to it. This would be a fairly lightweight, small group, either on Alpine or Tele gear for a week or so. Gear can be hired if you dony have it. No guide, jus...

Just noticed Tony has put a nice 60k flight on the board from Long Mynd yesterday (8th).
Very well done mate, keep it up, great news

Very interesting write up Kitt, cheers. Observation is so important. The really good pilots are doing this constantly, looking and understanding, this seems to me to be the main thing we underlings need to improve, to break through from obscurity into paragliding stardom to join mad dog himself. I n...

Fantastic Mad Dog, Top Man, Top Pilot.
Thanks for the write up, its been too long since your last.
Great flying with you again Chris, even if we did end up in Loserville, the crack was champion.

Well it looks like Glencoe was the place to be today with a huge triangle done by Ian.

Nice one, what a place to do it too.
