We were the ones on Quainton Hill - let me know if you want the pics... what a fantastic day! F for cold though... Best, Tim

Well, if that was you and your mate over Quainton, thanks for the wave, and if you want the pics let me know! If you were in the air for 3 hours you could well have got this far I guess...(Spot the newbie!)

Thanks Eddie, I hope to make it over at some point...

You woke me up you buggers!! Quite treat to see three wings overhead as I peered out from my pit - I came on here to see who it was so thanks for the report. I did think it was a bit windy, mind. Clearly it was a long flight back. Glad you had a good one...maybe one day I'll join you, once I have some kit and complete the training etc, etc... Tim Horrox

Very newbie, in fact. No kit, no training as yet. Had a punter dual flight in Turkey in the summer which was grand, aloft for about 35mins - not bad considering I am 100kg. Still, the pilot was a stick insect! Have training paid for with Axis in Abergavenny, just need to set dates for a long weeknd or similar. Lambourn is a quick whizz down the A34, so that might be a good option for those odd days. Simon, tell me more... Was at the show last weekend, and I think Giles talked me and my flying buddy into a Parajet. Think I'll get the flying bit sorted, or at least some basic wing handling, before I commit though. Have been in touch with Lawrence via this forum, who is also based in Aylesbury, so we may have the makings of a club up here...but it's early days. Very interested in the John O'Groats to Lands End trip...sounds like it should be filmed...I feel a documentary coming on. Has anybody thought of tying up with Balloon groups on the route - they will know all the good flying sites. I still know a few people from when I was involved in that in the years BC (Before Children)... Love to hear from anyone who is in the area...

Hi guys, Interesting to read your posts on this topic. You might like to know that I run a video production company just north of Aylesbury. Sounds like some backscratching might be in order!! Rgds Tim Horrox
