Ground handling
Listening to cloud base mayhem podcast about groundhandling and they say you should do 10 to 1 ground handling so for me 10 hours a year. Should find more time as back at the start of my flying I was a lot better than I am now

i don't think anyone is to blame other than WhatsApp this has done the same to the Cumbria's as well. though not on there chat but believe there is one ad why there flying today is never used. the thing is if your not going on the website then its likely you will not ever check the sites use the xc ...

the activity on the website is now at an all time low and is going to prevent those looking to join our club as pointless. the reason been if no ones posting or doing flying today they will think that no one flies in the club. WhatsApp is great once flying has been arranged but it is possible aliena...

well its not looking like there will be any flying the glimmer was the west coast but just looks a bit to south.
cross fell is just a bit top end though sure hanggliders may get away with it if the there are any. looks very thermic as well so a good day to be doing a big distance

Hogden could be good for Tuesday for out and return or open
Yes it looks very thermic up there tomorrow but may be off to the east a bit but the way Hogden works is very thermic indeed.
Now the problem is getting off work

Well the choice is either Tinto or model though model could be top end
Tinto is looking potentially very good but have my reservations after 6 i am hoping for rasp to confirm a choice and make an early decision.

Well after a nice fly about at tp who knows sunday could be a complicated day but just might be flyable somewhere. Anything is better than nothing though at the minute it seems hard to get a good proper days flying in. It seems to be more like winter flying as apples to full on spring for us

Xc league does not seem to be getting used anymoo
Remember you are supposed to log your flights somewhere for proof of you currency and your safety. A few years ago 2 pilots were killed in a mid air and they looked into every part of there flying and the one who had no log book and lack of currency was definitely getting the blame. In this case bot...

Well not 5 star at wether fell but there was still plenty of flying to be had and we could of flown until dark as we left at 4.30 yet there was still lots of flying to be had. Wether fell was south east when we got there so we moved on to tailbridge and so a good choice. The lakes was not as good as...

Carlton bank after 3-4pm today could be good if fronts have gone through or even radar masts. Sounds a bit late but had some great xc flights at this time of night

Well i think that all things considered Carock fell should be working and all hills to suited fell and back. If there is a bit of south it should still work though not ideal.. Wrynos could also work but if there is higher winds around it is not a safe place to be for new pilots. Coniston is perfect ...

U-Turn Inphinity 4 medium 80-105kg in red as new 2016 £1595
This is a late 2016 wing and is under 10 hours in as new conditions as there has been little flying. This is not my wing but know it was purchased October 2016 so perfect wing for new or ambitious pilot can be flown right at top of weight range and will actually fly even better slightly over.
