No its Thursday 15th Bill
Can't make it either

I've seen you and Billy Boy flying in thunder storms with lightening crashing around your heads in torrential downpours just for the thrill of it I'm pleased you took up course fishing instead Any more of that nonsense and I would have to report you to our new safety officer for retrospective reprim...

He loved it and is gonna take it up

Have done it on a speedwing getting caught out in a downpour on take off and wings were saturated, I think theres a little bit more tolerance before they drop out of the sky Wouldn't be so keen on a paraglider particularly if forced to get down quickly big ears aren't a good idea on a wet wing or fl...

Next door neighbours first time flying -

launched just below summit ridge for a nice fly down videoed from below as well

I've found that stepping up to a higher performance/modern glider does make it easier to fly that bit further Also its great to get more feedback of whats going on in the surrounding air It gives you more incentive to get out and learn to fly a new wing which is really satisfying. The newer wings wi...

I've never seen anyone so skillfully fly so low, for so far
A real gully hugging, scree skimming, grass cutting, leeside loving, sheep scaring XC from the mad dog
Respect dude

Sorry can't make it along either working in Scotland Wed & Thursday

Ali

I'm keen to do the AP exam I've done an SIV and had the practical tasks signed off by Jockey

Off to to have a look at the Coast now
maybe Tynemouth or further South
Equipped with Speedy and PG's

In retrospect I should have done this on Jans speedwing I think I would have been in pole position then
Maybe not enough wind at first but when it picked up later I reckon I would have whopped you all (including hangies if any had turned up)
