Hope everything mends well,
Jill, Stuart and Daisy
In my experience Jill it is always the landing and never the rough air
But I do know what you were really asking.
Gary I wish you a speedy and full recovery - This time take it easy and do not rush the recovery process just to get back into the air.

Gary...........Can't believe it, still in the Lakes and just heard, hope you get well quickly (do you need another book to read?) Stick to the floppies
and get the vid. online sounds like some good crash and burn footage.
Speak to you soon, will tell Bruce Goldsmith he needn't worry now you are out of action for a short while, takes the pressure off him

Glad to know you are getting treatment really quickly. Sounds like the NHS has pulled out the stops.
Just finishing the Judy Leden book if you need any more reading material. It's full of scare stories.
You'll be back in the air before you know it.
Best wishes,
Glenn

Screaming is for real men
I screamed like a girl (sorry ladies ) when I was hit by a car whilst riding to work on the motorbike. Rolled round in the oncoming traffic deafening only myself with my cries reverberating inside my helmet. Then lay in the ambulance afterwards thinking "i wish i hadn't done that, bikers are supposed to be hard". Shit happens.
Don't feel bad.
Couldn't watch the vid.
Take care,
Glenn

Roll & pitch..
Hi Gary, checked out the video and it looks like to me when you hit strong sink and the ground came up fast your left wing was slighty down so when you began to flare this immediatly created a left turn down into the gully
More so with high performance wings its very important to get the wing level before attempting to slow down.
I'm sure next time you will land closer to the cars on top, most of the accidents on Crossfell in a southerly wind have been with landing to far back & near the gully.
Nothing wrong with screaming mate, I did crashing on the dunes at Walkworth
Cheers & get well soon.

i reckon your so right as when you sea on high resolution you clearly sea the wingsarnt level, i must admit i was caught off guard when i sank out as i thought i had another second to line up. a very good lesson and i think other than showing the end would a good training video fot studentsabout the importance of keeping the wings level
cheers gary

Hey where are these negative thoughts coming from? If Misk can fly with his landing gear in a pot, then I'm sure Gary can manage with the stearing wheel in a pot.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday not looking good, so that's a decent rest, but the weekends shaping up.
I'm certain we'll see him on the hill on Saturday. I'll get Julie to make up a glove to fit the club!

That's exactly what John Wallis said last night in Keswick. Ron and John in complete harmony.checked out the video and it looks like to me when you hit strong sink and the ground came up fast your left wing was slighty down so when you began to flare this immediatly created a left turn down into the gully
