Welcome, not in your area but just thought i'd give you a response. I'm sure you'll find some flying companions if you harrass this lot enough. novel wing' have'nt heard of that one before.

Hi Chris, Back from Turkey and gaging to fly. Let me know when you and co are out again and we,ll get together, at your venue or mine. didn,t get your mob no. off voicemail- bit muffled so if you can pm it to me, thanks. p.s. Turkey is the dogs.

ok POZ. am 62. started paramotoring at 59, paragliding at 60, do about 8000m per year on my motorbike play competitve squash and earn a living as a tandem parachute instructor (do about 15 tandems a week) Just getting into powerboating. Thinking of slowing down when i get old. Tell this guy to get a motor on his back and start living.

Just to remind you it's the Southport Air Show Sat & Sun but i believe it's been cancelled. Following extensive negotiations the organisers have been unable to get air clearance from Andy Walkden.

Had a busy weekend so only managed 5hrs flying, Good flight from (red rocks) Wirral fri eve. Took off from Moreton shore, up coastline around the tip at West Kirby, up the Dee river sandbanks to Thurstaton and back XC to Leasowe lighthouse. great sunset final 15mins, 2hr flight in all. Catch ya next time.

Flying from Moreton shore, nr New Brighton. Only 3 of so far(bit of a poor showing on sure a good forecast) Kicking off about 5pm. but just turn up when you can. Anyone needing directions pm me your number and i'll send tx. (easy to find)

Yes, playing out but not til pm. Working near Lancaster til early afternoon.

don't bother, if your not in comp you don't fly. Check it out before you go. don't waste a gud day.

Hiya all pity you couldn't make mon eve, there were 3 of us finally. We flew from Formby field, perfect conditions. First flight we headed up past Ormskirk to Parbold hill then back passing west side of Southport, intended to fly to Andy Walkdens site but one of us was bit unsure about fuel so we headed back and landed to missus with tea and food. Still plenty of flying time so after fuel stop we kicked off again, this time we went to Hightown shoreline then headed along coast to Ainsdale then back to Crosby where we did some low flying around the iron statue's on Crosby beach, loads of spectators. Then back X country to field. Topped it of with nice cool beer. 2.5 hrs flying in all, just what the doctor ordered. Catch you all next time.

Thanks for replies, will let you know how we do.

Good bedtime reading, prob won't sleep now. Veteran of 5000+ parachute jumps, final checks 2nd nature (don't be distracted)

Sorry Ian. Think it's time to bury this one. Blue skies for all of us.

Steady on Al, Remember we have to pass them to get to friendly pilots in Europe.

Hi Chris. if you don't mind a 30min drive, i've got a field right next door to my house. I'll give you a shout when there's a good forcast. Needs to be evening though cos i'm up Lancaster way every weekend.

Take it you guys didn't fly last eve due to wind. Got a 45min flight around Formby beach area during morning before winds got up. Let me know when and where your meeting up next and i'll try and join you if thats ok. Carry my gear with me all the time. Cheers.

Hi arcus, Local ranger is a grief giving knob, but he goes home at 5pm. so site isn't very useable during winter. come along some time, it's worth it, great evening flights.

Thanks doc, Know Andy well, will take you up on invite. tell andy i'm the tandem parachutist, he'll know who you mean. See ya soon.

Hi arcus, i'm one of the guy's who fly from (as you call it) Red Rocks. It's a good site and there are normally 2/3 of us. Your welcome to come along but it's normally evenings only. There is some nice coastline or xc to fly.

Nice one Ian, hope your good weather keeps up. Just trying to strike a nerve with the northern clan. See you've listed all your gear,(wot, no helmet?)
