Any dummies out there.

Post by berow »

I want to have a session groundhandling with my tandem. is anybody interested?
In return I can share my launch technique for strong winds on a solo to make it worthwhile for any aspiring pilots.
Assuming the ground is not wet I would probably use a park or even east hill!
If it is damp I wont go to east hill as I don't fancy my new tandem which is mainly white covered in cow shit.
Thank you.

Walking up Crossfell getting fitter for the C2C. The gliders were up the sky looked great and I thought the wind was dropping until it blew our glasses off the table at the Shepard's..............

Walking will not harden your rear end to the cycle saddle, however as a young'un it was rumoured that vinegar hardened your conkers if you want to try that John!
