Its a cracker

Well the LCC has gotta be one of my best weekends ever -
Great flying everyday, partying every night, helicoper ride to take off, speed flying and even a bit of trials riding as well and made all the better for sharing the experience
Cracking job Gordie

No UP on there either

You can have a go on mine Got one as well for the non-flyable days
Theres plenty of fields to practice on around yours as well. I'm sure the farmer won't mind

Oh how I wish I was, Keeping the wheels of industry turning today whilst others play
Fantastic flights by Mike & Steve

Shame on you Bill - its sad to see the passing of one of our countries greatest leaders in recent times

Don't think I can make it now won't be back till late tomorrow after work. What about Friday instead ?

May come along depending on what time I get back from working in Scotland

Thats one option but my thinking was that if we gained the qualification then we could organise and attend to regular repack sessions to oversee and sign off reserve re-packs by those who attended. That way people get to learn how to pack themselves under the guidance of a qualified packer (without ...

I'm not suggesting that one person packs everyone's reserve just that they are there at repacks to offer guidance and overee packing and to help with any queries etc I think if we have a record of doing these repack sessions for those people who have done the EPPS course then it shouldn't take to lo...

This leaves non-qualified packers open to being sued by anyone who has a problem with a bad reserve deployment Maybe worth getting someone in the club on the EPPS course who can attend and oversee repacks and to get these organised on a 6 monthly basis. I'd be willing to volunteer if this is of inte...

Don't want to commit to a weekend Bill !
We need to do our reserves soon but will probably do these one evening at Jans local school hall I don't mind letting folk know when but it may be short notice as and when its available and when we have time

Very Nice

We are heading along as well and it might even be flyable on Saturday

I have run this 6 or 7 times its an excellent event whether walking or running and well supported with hot drinks at checkpoints including a good meal in the local pub afterwards
Highly recommended, more so once finished and sat in the pub with a pint !!
Just ask Kay & Paul its there favourite run

Bloody hell surfers do actually stand up !! First time I've seen a surfer stand up on his board on the NE coast !!
I was beginning to believe they just enjoy bobbing around lying flat out on their boards having a sleep

Hi Bill

I'll have one in Black size small for now

Ta

Sounds interesting
What ideas?
Anything decided for the trophies/comps at the meeting?

Brilliant Colin keep them coming

First chance I've had to read this post, and wasn't able to make the meeting I'm keen to know what was decided? I do think one important element to XC flying is understanding and following the national XC league rules so that as a club we can encourage members to develop and compete at a national le...

A nice flight from the snow covered summit ridge of Skiddaw in November
