So you don't remember when you turned up at Cessford and I was cutting the grass for the farmer and you were pissing yourself laughing at me sitting on the lawnmower ?
Because the farmer gave me some dinner I offered to cut his lawn and had a great time and a great day.

Pilot of the month is a great thing to have for any club, it promotes the development of all our members flying, developes the willingness to learn and become a much safer pilot and in the long run improves our sport.

Because paragliders can soar in much less wind and also fly much slower than a hangglider it makes the flying much less turbulent I dont like flying in fresh winds with strong thermals and when...

Tailbridge 1600ft asl its a nice site but high above sea level and with the forcasted winds it may well be blown out.
Titers in the morning will be a good bet then whats ever happens, happens..
