Great idea

Don't do it ! Good flying to be had

Sounds good and I can probably get the Cricket Club bar opened for us to use at Threlkeld landing (football) field if that suits. Fantastic beer as well as tea & coffee.

We can't make it great idea but more notice please

Another addition to this weekends exploits

Thanks guys - just test flying wings at present thanks to The Sick & Wrong. Think I'm on the light side for an M4 unfortunately because they have amazing performance. Flown the Aircross Ucross another great wing and my favourite so far nearly as good as the M4 and with the safety of an EN C. Wil...

A canny day 3.5hours did a nice triangle I reckon ? Will wait to see when I can get to download it. How far did you get off Souter ?

Don't seem to be able to open any of the tabs on the XC league and can't download a flight. Any suggestions?

Last weekend a few paragliders flew over the summit of Mont Blanc This is the video of a tandem who managed this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOYQpxb7GzQ&feature=player_embedded Amazing!

Got word today from Kay that she completed her Ironman triathlon in 12hr 30mins an incredible time for swimming over 2 miles then riding over 100miles then running a marathon. Well done Kay. What an achievement

First time at Piedrahita 1st day today strong & broken thermals back up for an evening flight at 7pm!
Great flying with Steve Ham. Wednesday looking like a potentially big day

Nice one guys and gals

After flying for only 3 to 4 years Jim has flown almost 120k from Tinto to Alston and could have gone further (if not for his pea sized bladder) What an incredible achievement (and an NHPC pilot to boot) We had a celebratory pint at Moffat on Sunday evening and I arrived to see Jim join the big fish...

Go Jim go. Incredible flight Maybe a site record
Lets see a write up please
