Besides waisting some of the day to paragliding and trying to teach in hardly any wind, the 22nd turned out to be a great day for a hurtle. Tiz nice, wizzing down a fell side, with your mates, in the sunshine, knowing you've got a hug waiting for you when you land. :wink: As ever turn up your speake...

Glad you all enjoyed yourselves, putting smiles on faces is what we try and do in Cumbria and I think we did quite well again this year. Whilst the event is on I don't get any time to play so here is the only flight I managed to sneak in on Thursday evening flying with 'Jetman' Eric and Stevie G, Oh...

Hi Folks, Well only a couple of weeks to go until the greatest free flying event our wee country provides. I need help to get a stage brought over from Newcastle if any of you have a vehicle which could do it (van, pick up, large trailer). It comes in 2mx1m boards x10 and short leg sections. Give me...

Our friend has gone and he will never know quite how far he moved our beloved sport forward in the U.K. We held this video back for some time but now is the time for the world to see what 4 blokes, a helicopter and balls acumplished above the Lake District last summer. RIP my friend: http://www.yout...

Had a canny week in Scotland last week, dispite celebrating a mates stag doo I also managed to make the most of the weather with my latest speed riding mount. Oh Mr Little you sooo need to get some ski's.... As ever turn up the volume, take a deep breath, sit back and enjoy the ride: http://www.yout...

Cheers guys its great fun and a great way to get an xc outing in on a wintery day. As for the kites you can use water kites (LEI) if you wish which do 'dpower' more then the foils but they are heavy and bulky and you have to carry a pump. Most of us use foils as you can take a quiver of kites with y...

Managed to squeeze in a nice wee snow kite tour of the central Fells on Sunday afternoon with the dog and Mara. Snow cover was great above about 600m but we still managed to get the kites out at around 400m just above Watendlath. Went south for about 8km to just above the Langdale Pikes before turni...

Yeer Steve I second what your saying. I'm sure Mark from ukairsports thinks the same, as he is soon to loose a little finger after a 15 year battle to keep it after a disagreement with a paramotor.

Happy new year you all xxx

POW=powder!!! Nice one guys, I think I will be coming over your way for a play this season. Catch you soon hopefully.

Oh that's a shame for a minute there I had a picture of you crashing through garden fences and boncing over garden sheds with your throttle stuck open :wink: Got a wee bit of snow over here and cranked up one of my ski tows on Binsey, had a great day including getting my 2yr old daughter Katy slidin...

I believe gordy is northern sites officer to make sure everything is ok with sites? Yep have been the CSC northern sites officer for over ten years now and I always put the CSC and Pilots interests before my own schools requirments. An example of this is not using Souther due to the numbers limit w...

Mr & Mrs Hurtle paid us a visit on Saturday. With only a farts breath of wind we decided to meet up for a team outing..... http://vimeo.com/16573173

The Lake's no question as we have far superior sheep. Oh ye and Wallis your a soft lad!

Orrrrr don't say its a wind up...... for a while there I thought Foggy might have sold his old Boomer, god knows he needs the money. Ah well there goes the chance for Ronnie or me to rip another unsuspecting member of the public off, we are both desperate you know to get on the 100 rich list and kno...

Our good friends and stars of previous Buttermere Bash's, Yves & Remo AKA 'Lucky Clowns' recently smashed the syncro infinity tumble record after d'bagging from a chooper high above Switzerland. Both are flying brilliantly at the moment and are currently 9 & 10 on the acro world ranking. Cou...

Spent last week on holiday with the family on the beautiful island of Mull. The weather was just fantastic and allowed me to get the speed wing out a couple of times when I was not building sand castles. Hope you enjoy the rides: Beinn a Ghraig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtybcC6dr-c&feature...

Hi Ron, Glad you had a gud un. Most of the Cumbrians heading to White Stones, some flew Jenkin when base lifted mid afternoon and I was on good old Bewaldeth with around 13 students and 10 Tandems done, quite a busy day but Blowy Bewaldeth came up with the goods and gave us a great day.

Nice one Mr & Mrs Hurtle, you can serve me cheese pie any day babe! One thing is I know your both super human but speed flying into the future... August the 10th???? Ohh and where was my invite.......

So I have heard but mine works fine at any angle, unlike my old mobile I have not missed any calls yet. Suspect it is a rummer made up by jelous iphone 3 owners

O.K. I may be the saddest geek here. After spending over 4 hours waiting in phones4u the other day I was one of the lucky ones who got there paws on an iphone 4. First iphone i have had and after a few days playing I am sadly addicted and the laptop has sulked off into the corner. Downloaded the new...

Hi Chris, Thank you for being honist and I hope others learn and listen from this. As for your thoughts that the filed was not in crop, if it is full of buttercups then it has been left ungrazed for while which means it is certainly being left aside for the grass to grow. The grass being short means...
