cheers bud. I watched a few pilots struggling to get there buts into the seat so i think i had that in the back of my mind. You feel the motor weight go off your back so i just sat in. Never again. The sensation of the seat around your legs and your brain telling you your never going to run any faster or you'll fall. Its like running with a pair of 15 size wellies on covered in mud with a 10 year old strapped to your back.

Love that analogy!

Thanks for the recommend guys...I've been in touch with Alex now, then went and broke my hand on Monday! Duh!!! :-/

6 weeks in plaster and not happy!...still, something new to look forward to!

Dave

Thanks, Rayne nr Braintree I presume (my olds live in Colchester so could squeeze a visit at the same time! ;p)

Will look him up as its an area I know a bit.

Dave

No probs! Thanks

Thanks...@ 70 miles each way and 1hr20 (plus the extra time it takes to navigate the M25 passed

Kings Langley/M40/Heathrow M4 traffic!)....

Was hoping something more local! ...

Oh yeah! ...and still gotta sell the bike! lol

I get that!...A village like Bovingdon everyone knows (or wants to know) everyone's business!

The lady who owns the ex-horse fields behind me seems open to me using her field, at least for ground training, looks to be a little tight for take off and landings with the surrounding trees?! Guess I'll know better when I get some training sorted!

(Do you know of any local courses/instructors? I cant find anything within 1 1/2 hours+)

Dave

Yup heard about the return to using as an airfield just today! (and the troubles etc!) Lets hope that things progress well! Will keep and ear open!

D

That's very interesting Dave.. Mr Bovvie airfield hasn't been the most accommodating of people from what I've heard of other leisure/sports/pastimes that have expressed an interest in using the airfield in the past so lets hope he likes the idea of PPG!! It would be great venue!

I do have access to a couple of fields but have a long way to go..and yet to take my first step!

Are you local?

Dave

Hi all!

Just working through the decision to let go of my 2 wheels and a motor (its getting dangerous out there!) and swapping for a wing and motor!

Based in Bovingdon, Herts, I see the occasional PPG go over but cant see an active club close by?!

Gonna need some training too, so any advice gratefully received! (Have some powerkiting experience! lol )
