Nice one Chris, well apart from the soft focus look. BUT...... it does look like you left your decision on where to land until the last minute/second, trying to get that few extra k.m.'s? The field you landed in look very much like it was in crop for silage? It is realy important that at this time o...

So 9 brave aviators took up the challenge and reached skywards in search of solstice treats. Attacking Skiddaw from all sides the lucky souls were treated to a breath taking solar show of sunset and sunrise. As dawn grew over the landscape below, unfortunately as did the fell fogs over our lofty tak...

OK I AM A MUPPET :oops: . Should never turst them weather forecasts, as the LCC proved. It no looks O.K for the true solistice night Sunday 20th into Monday 21st , so were gona go for it when its supposed to happen. I'm leaving Bassenthwaite Sun Inn at 9 p.m. after a wee pint from around 8.30ish. An...

So sorry to mess any of you around but we be leaving the Sun Inn Bassenthwaite at 9 p.m. Monday 21st. Still get to walk up...

OK so the sun is nearly at the yard arm and the weather gods continue to give us heaven day after day. The place to be on next Sunday night (20th June) is the top of Skiddaw were will spend a night of merryment and get in touch with our hippie sides at sunrise @ 4.30a.m. I will be leaving my house i...

Unfortunatly dispite it being the last day of closure on Monday 31st May a number of pilots flew this site. I had to stop teaching on the east side of Clough and go round to visit the farmer and sort out the situation. The relevent hill farmer was not in so I have still to contact him to apease him ...

I thought she said she was Czechosloovakia, when I was trying to book her for the LCC late night slot and to keep Felix happy.

I would also reccomend a full set of body armour and full chest airbags like Neil looks to of purchased

Nice one Chris glad you got flying. Was crap over here with a strong wind and rain. If you want to get less of your arm and pole in the shots tilt the camera at more of an angle pointing away from the pole (it wil look a lot better). Keep em coming.

Have decided to copy and paste this message about flying on Blease last Saturday as I know a number of you were there. If any of you were the 'offending pilots' then please can you be much more carefull in future and ALLWAYS check the CSC site alert page and sites guide before flying any of our site...

Hi Jim,

Contact the BHPA and make sure they have your current e.mail address correct. As you probably hand wrote it when you first applied for membership they may have entered your details with an error on your address.

I don't know if the British are overreacting because it comes from Brussels - Europe, but at least we should take notice of their panic. It is all about some new regulations quoted, that aircraft is not allowed to fly under 300 m AGL, only if taking off, landing or having special authority. So ridg...
