I made three flights on friday the 18th sep, however, when I downloaded them they didnt all download so I lost the main one I wanted. Why did this happen and what can I do to stop it happening again?

Very well done Jenny, --- following in your dads footsteps ehh

Ive got a paraglider called Olly Octane, its red white and blue and its geet lush, it cost me 300 quid four years ago. Its got a few patches on it but it fly's OK, when it lifts me off the ground I get excited and sometimes I get an erection :oops: The enjoyment I get for 300 quid is nobody's buisin...

Should have been there nice vid

Well done ron, --- almost there !!!

You Bad lad Jim your trying to frighten me again arent you

Do you think John Miller would get back off
Excellent pics, and like you say a very brave move.
I'm walking the tour de Mont Blanc in two weeks time, can anyone tell me how cold it gets at nightime in the valley's? and higher up in the passes? Wondering what gear to take.

Right behind Alnham is Hogdon Law --- Nice N easterly,
Further to your west behind alwinton is Lords Seat SSE,
To your East is East Hill and west Hill --- SE & NW,
If its SW you can fly Titlington pike near Powburn, But as John Wallis Says you are better Travelling to Cross Fell if its SW.

Yes I'm very tempted --- by Jude ---Well done folks, great stuff.

I'm up for that Colin, The hrsy event on the 30th is in aid of the air ambulance, do you not think this would be a good time to have a get together as its a bank hol weekend?
Lets have some names --- and we could have another comp

Thanks to everyone involved in the making of the comp, it was an excellent weekend. I camped at the Fox inn at Ousby (£5.00 a night) a cracking little site and a cracking pub with excellent meals. Lots of good crack with the locals and lots of beer, I really think we should make this our watering ho...

have i paid Kay?

Excellent stuff Colin

Ding ding

A bit uncalled for there Ronnie, what steve says is right though, big XC 's just dont happen from the cheviots. Mind you I still love them, and mileage done in the cheviots is worth far more than elswhere in my opinion.

Its a secret

Bloody Brilliant Paolo

Was it not discussed with you beforehand Kay? it doesnt seem very ethical if not.

I agree with Gary, the best thing is the fun and camoaderiw, I have lots of fun reading the forum and when we get out on the hill we get the camoaderiw --- after all, where would we be without the camoaderiw? its just great :lol: you can stick the competition, just enjoy your flying as Paul says :wi...

The ear plugs are for when you are travelling with Gary after he's done an XC, and the lighter is used to set fire to yourself after you realise you forgot the earplugs.

exc ellent

Pleased your getting sorted Gary, --- bet you havnt got much to say to the nurses! --- have you had a bed bath?

You'll be out in no time gary, I'm pleased you are OK :) The wind was'nt full south when you landed (crashed) as Ron say's you had you're left wing low when you hit the wind gradient or dead air, this combined with the wind coming slightly from your right and the lift under your right wing meant you...

Thats really sad Wendy, hope it turns up --- I lost mine once (left it in the back lane when unloading) luckily I had my name address and Phone number on it, the next day someone Knocked on my door with it. It must be a good idea for everyone in the club to do this, it paid off for me.

We'll keep an eye on the weather then, first weekend it looks promising we'll give it a go it must be very light northerlys with a canny base.
bring it on. dont forget, the sea breeze would take a long time (if ever) to reach this far inland.

I'm so excited I'm almost wetting my pants its a hell of a treck from Garrigill (6.5 mile) only 1.5 from high cap, --- only an hours exercise lets do it !

Sounds brilliant John, the "keys" bit doesnt sound too good but if we cant get them the access from high cap isnt too bad, abit exercise didnt do any harm, so I take it you are up for it? --- any other's ??

You dont get the Helm Bar in a very light wind john, which is what it would have to be, being so high. I thought you would be a good choice for the OUTING

I’ve thought of flying this new site for a few years now, but like a lot of things, I never seem to get round to doing it. This site should be of special interest to most I think despite its big carry up, it’s Cross Fell, --- yes that’s right Cross Fell, but the North Face, directly behind Greg’s hu...

Maybe certain ones are too big Ron --- just a guess.

Yes theres a distinct lack of traces in Northumbria what a surprise --- very interesting Ian, theres not much going on from the model ridge.
