as we are in the winter season and often there is little flying do you think there is any real point to this for marginal flying? sometimes people are awarded this based on good comradeship as appose to out right flying. as for example at the weekend i seen Brian run back down the hill to carry john...

I think when there has been a good flight it has been rewarded however when it was a bit of ridge or less people have been rewarded it. Mad dog 3 times for ground handling let's be serious this was taken the piss not for his skills. Sometimes the pilot of the month could be the person who tried the ...

in regards to the power surge I don't think the sub-station was connected, after speaking with Dave he did not see to worried. if Mark had been seriously or fatal then it would have been a problem for them. may be worth asking experienced HG John Watson when he hit power lines as I think that was we...

I think with the autumn and winter flying it has been more a bout given it to anyone that managed to get flying rather than what it should be for. Outstanding flying etc but I think the pilot of the month is closer to the wooden spoon in golf

well as most know there was a serious incident with a very good outcome, however I don't think any of us know whet is the best plan of action if this is ever to happen to you hitten power lines. so think if we can get all the relevant information for the correct procedure then it will be a worth whi...

all sorted

well not a bad day got a little top end when you got high but later on most manage to get a fly so all went home refreshed and with a glowing face from the cold

I think catain going to be the place to be today for sure as more sun SW wind and maybe top end at times but will reduce as days go on

hownan is a great site indeed as it takes so many directions but when you cant drive u and you need to walk to the very top it is over 400m the same as walking to the top of Blease. today we got to the top and it seemed perfect and then the wind dropped away to nothing and never to return. however i...

Yes hownam is looking good though may blow out, however if it does then east hill is likely to be working. I think the morning will be the crucial point as if it is more south then i would favour the lakes and blease fell

Well its going to be a tricky one tomorrow and its all going to be getting the right site. Summer may be ok all day if not a bit off to east Blease big walk up could be top end at the back of ridge and if stays more sout to SSE then could be spectacular Then you have east hill may be ok bit of to so...

Well we may have a change as t now might be ok for east hill or how am
So would be nice for a closer to home though how am takes as long to get there as summer

Well looking fairly light south easterly winds and look strong enough down summer. Also its a nice easy drive in so may be worth a run out, but it is the uk so it may all change

Keep whatsapp on your phone but just don't join the group this way you can send pictures location when you land all the through the app making retrieves very easy.

the bottom text is Saturday 7.48am the other was Saturday 3rd of decmber 16.11

As you can see 7.48 I texted you Ron I think you have me blocked as keep on texting and never get a reply

hi ron I did text you this morning to come flying but got no reply? well we went up barton but it seemed to strong so we had a run back to Keswick and ended up going to clough. we were rewarded with some nice flying and in the main fairly smooth but windy once above 700m. was very good to getout wit...

Well its looking like west is best and the only place though Wether fell may be ok if not snowed in. The sites i am thinking is Clough Lattrig Ullock though never flown Ullock i know mad dog is not keen on walk ups but there maybe no choice. Will make final decision in the morning but if going that ...

I believe there is a few going to the lion and lamb for a catch up and bite to eat, still not sure if i can make it but sure i will catch you there

Cheers gary

Yep good choice it was almost perfect then low cloud came along

Yep its going to be a strange day and its all going to be down to getting the right site as I am sure it will be flyable. This may be the farewell tour of the happy bus but the new one will be here next week but only five seats but may increase it to 8 seats and think the club could pay the £1300 fo...

You wont need to worry too much as you will of hit the hill by the first turn instead of loosing 700m in the recovery

You must have some good take off areas? I could see it was looking nice today and should instead of doing the ruin around went ppg

Let's see what the morning brings it may be captain cooks as the best option or even TP its low cloud in the west likely to be the problem though at least ther is some webcam

Well lets hope Sunday comes up with the goods as there is a good chance of something. Not sure if people are out so hoping to try and get out to somewhere though tailbridge is my preferred choice as its top drive

Ron running Whatsapp should not drain your battery anymore than any other app on your phone, though it will use up data when pictures are sent. So if you battery is draining then its more likely to be be something else on your phone using your battery

Cheers Gary

Sounds good if I could get my self into gear
